JUMP Math is a systematic, mastery-based, Canadian math
series created with the idea that all students can succeed at math. We offer
print worksheets and assessment books. Teacher guides and other resources
will be available in print soon (2025).
JUMP (Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigy) Math is a numeracy
program. Not sure what that means? Think "literacy" with numbers.
Numeracy, a term coined in the UK, means the ability to reason and to apply
simple numerical concepts. Developed in Canada to encourage an understanding as
well as a love of math, JUMP Math is also an evidence (research) based
approach.
Primarily intended to be used by teachers in a classroom,
the program's goals are to lead students through guided discovery, asking
Socratic questions, providing harder challenges and activities while all the
while being involved in immediate assessment and feedback.
JUMP at Home Worksheets are designed to be used in a
tutoring situation. They are an adjacent product to the program itself and do
not include course instruction. Roughly, it appears that the trail behind
the JUMP Math levels. You might think of JUMP at Home worksheets as providing
review of last year's content and preparing the student for the next level. For
instance, JUMP at Home 7 would review JUMP Math 5 & 6, really only covering
content through JUMP Math Book 6.1. Answer keys will be available in
print coming soon (2025).
Students use consumable, semester worktexts called
Assessment & Practice books with only some barebones instructions
and practice exercises. They are nevertheless an essential part of the
teacher-student interaction that characterizes the program. Used at the end of
the lessons, they provide practice as well as the on-going assessment - a
useful diagnostic - that is the basis for the teacher-student interaction.
