Jump Math Assessment & Practice Book 7.2 (US Edition)

JUMP Math, which stands for Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigy, is a research-based, mastery-oriented K-8 math program from Canada. It is focused on building numeracy, which is the ability to reason with numbers and apply mathematical thinking in real life.

Created by mathematician Dr. John Mighton, JUMP Math uses a gentle, structured “guided discovery” approach. It breaks complex ideas into small, manageable steps, builds confidence through incremental success, and keeps students in the optimal “sweet spot” of challenge (roughly 85% success, 15% stretch). The program strongly emphasizes mental math, problem-solving, and conceptual understanding while reducing math anxiety.

Key Program Features

• Structured, step-by-step lessons that guide students to discover “why” and “how” math works
• Strong focus on mental math, problem-solving, and deep numeracy
• Continuous built-in assessment and immediate feedback
• Effective for a wide range of learners, including those with gaps or needing extra confidence
• Clean, no-frills, black-and-white pages that keep the focus on math (and keep the price low)

What You Need for Homeschool Use

JUMP Math is a teacher-led program, not an independent workbook curriculum. For the full experience, most homeschool families use:

• Teacher Resources (lesson plans, strategies, mental math activities, games, blackline masters, quizzes, tests, and answer keys): These are provided free as downloadable PDFs from the JUMP Math website (jumpmath.org). Simply create a free account to access them.
• Assessment & Practice Books (.1 and .2 for each grade): Consumable student books containing practice exercises and ongoing assessment. These have minimal instructions because the teaching comes from the Teacher Resources.

Homeschoolers need an annual JUMP Math membership. The Basic level is free but limited; most families choose the paid Educator or Pro levels for full access to all materials. One membership covers all grade levels for your family.

JUMP at Home worksheets are a lighter, more independent supplement for review or extra practice, but they do not replace the full guided lessons and Teacher Resources.

JUMP Math is an excellent choice for families who want a rigorous yet gentle math program that builds strong conceptual understanding and a positive attitude toward math, all at a very affordable price.
