JUMP MATH
Every Child can be Good at Math
Founded in 2002 by Dr. John Mighton, JUMP Math is an award-winning charitable organization empowering educators and students to understand and love math in Canada, the United States and other countries worldwide. Equity is at our core. Our resources are uniquely structured to support every teacher to engage every student in every math class.
Students face 5 main barriers to learning math:
- Math anxiety: When students feel anxious, they have trouble focusing.
- Lack of confidence: Students who feel others are better at math are less likely to be engaged in their lessons.
- Low self-expectations: A belief that success depends on natural ability rather than effort results in students doing poorly.
- Information overload: The brain is easily overwhelmed by too much new information.
- Missed concepts: Students who haven’t mastered basic math concepts struggle to problem-solve, see patterns, and make estimates and predictions.
JUMP Math has a Proven Pedagogy that Integrates Across the System
