JUMP Math is a Toronto-based charity, founded by mathematician, Dr. John Mighton, which is dedicated to enhancing the potential in children by encouraging an understanding and a love of math in students and educators. It offers programs, materials and training for teachers and parents to enhance math lessons for students in Grades 1-8, including French immersion students in Grades 1-6. JUMP Math unpacks math concepts into smaller, more digestible pieces, so students experience success early and often. It delivers its program throughout Canada and has pilot programs operating in New York, California and Washington states.

“

LIFT’s support has been key to the growth of JUMP Math. Since working together, we’ve been able to serve three times as many students.”
