JUMP Math

On National Indigenous Peoples Day, we recognize the importance of language, culture, and identity in education. At JUMP Math, we are proud to work with Indigenous communities to provide evidence-based math resources through First Nations language translations, teacher training, and student supports.

Educators, we want to thank you for everything you do to support student learning and hope you have a restful, well-earned summer break. Your dedication, patience, and encouragement have helped students build confidence, strengthen their skills, and experience those important “I can do this” moments.

Building financial literacy starts at home. Teaching children the importance of saving for the future and setting long-term educational and money management goals is key to their future success.

Set an example by registering early in your child's life for an RESP to secure their educational future. Through our partnership with Embark Student Corp. parents and grandparents can not only take advantage of government funding and incentives but also give back. For every RESP registered using code: JUMPMATH, Embark gets you started with the first deposit AND contributes $250 to JUMP Math to support math tutoring and education programs for less advantaged children.

This month marks National Indigenous History Month, which shines a spotlight on the history, heritage, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. JUMP Math is proud of the partnerships we have developed with Indigenous educators, students, and communities across Canada, working together to provide teachers and students with culturally appropriate, evidence-based math instruction strategies and resources that honours Indigenous heritage and ways of teaching.

Happy Pride Month! We'd like to recognize all the incredible LGBTQ2S+ parents, caregivers, educators, students, and allies who help create inclusive spaces in schools, where every child can thrive. When we create affirming and accepting environments that empower all students, they can feel confident in their abilities and identity.

Did you know that almost half of Canadian kids are currently missing the mark in math? If this math crisis is not addressed quickly with effective, evidence-based math support, low math achievement will negatively impact their future academic and career opportunities, health outcomes, and financial stability.

Help ensure that every child's full potential can blossom. Support us in building kids' math confidence and skills and create a future where every child has access to equal opportunities for success. Learn more: https://jumpmath.org/ca/let-their-potential-blossom

We're so grateful to receive this testimonial from Ontario teacher, Brian Hewitt about his experience with JUMP Math over the past couple of years!

"JUMP Math was used in my Grade 6 classroom as supplementary material to provide students with additional practice and reinforcement of key math concepts. I found it to be an excellent resource for both teachers and students.

As a teacher, I appreciated how easy it was to use and integrate into my existing program. The materials are well-organized, clearly structured, and flexible enough to support a variety of learning needs.

For students, the JUMP Math approach breaks down complex math concepts into smaller, more manageable steps, making the material easier to understand and less intimidating. The mini-lessons and self-directed format allowed students to work independently while building confidence in their skills.

Overall, JUMP Math is an effective and user-friendly program that supports both teaching and learning by promoting clarity, understanding, and independent practice."
