Jump Math is a Canadian programme founded by John Mighton and dedicated to helping children succeed at, and enjoy, learning mathematics by encouraging an understanding and a love of mathematics in pupils as well as teachers. The programme aims to increase children’s chances of success, to reduce socio-economic disparities, to engender a sense of belonging and, most importantly, to endow voiceless children with opportunity.
