Grades 1 – 8
JUMP Math® is a curriculum-aligned classroom math program developed by John Mighton, PhD, OC, an award-winning mathematician, and best-selling author, who founded JUMP Math® (Jumpmath.org) in 2002 to give every child the opportunity to successfully learn and enjoy math and achieve their full potential.
JUMP Math® also offers an excellent structured intervention program, which the LDANR is pleased to be using to deliver an individualized tutoring program for students with a diagnosed, identified, or suspected math-specific learning disability (Dyscalculia).
Participants in the LDANR-delivered program work one-to-one with a trained numeracy tutor to build foundational math skills and computational fluency. Lessons are taught using a combination of direct instruction and engaging math games and activities.
