JUMP Math

We are a Canadian charity and social enterprise founded in 2002 by mathematician, author, and playwright Dr. John Mighton. Our work centers on a simple belief: every child can develop a genuine understanding of mathematics and the confidence to use it. We develop research-informed, curriculum-aligned learning resources for preschool through Grade 8, along with professional learning and classroom support for educators. The program is used in Canada, the United States, and other countries, with editions aligned to provincial curricula and US standards.

Our Structured Inquiry approach guides students through gradual, scaffolded discovery of mathematical concepts rather than relying on rote learning or memorization. Teachers use our materials to assess understanding, address learning gaps, and help an entire class progress together. We also develop preschool resources, digital interventions, tutoring programs, and resources for parents and homeschoolers. As a nonprofit publisher, we keep accessibility and educational impact central to our work so that students and teachers can use effective resources regardless of a school’s budget.
