This is a great article about JUMP Math, which is a charity that offers K-8 math instructional resources. It was created by mathematician and my good friend John Mighton @johnmighton. Glad to see that more schools are adopting JUMP Math! the74million.org/article/jump-i…

Looking forward to presenting with some truly excellent speakers + friends @ JUMP Math's first Summer Learning Summit this August, some of which I was delighted to present with at researchED Canada. If you missed rED here's a second chance to hear voices that were there!

In a recent interview in the latest issue of Working Together, by The Winnipeg Foundation, we addressed critical math learning needs throughout Manitoba. It was a pleasure to discuss how JUMP Math is closing these gaps in classrooms across the province (pg. 24-25): bit.ly/wpgdfn

Continuing the discussion on teaching math using 'real-world problems' vs starting simple and building mastery, Joanne Lee Jacobs recently wrote an article in reference to my talk with Holly Korbey in The Bell Ringer. Read more about it here: ow.ly/p0iB50SPgMY

Can't wait to tune into this episode. I am yet to read/listen to a discussion by Nidhi Sachdeva, PhD that is any less than both fascinating and inspiring. Know this will follow suit alongside Anna Stokke .

A remarkable milestone for The Fields Institute — 2024 marks a century of revolutionizing research in mathematical sciences across Canada. It’s an honour to be a Lifetime Fellow & to have benefited from Fields' tremendous support for JUMP Math. theglobeandmail.com/canada/science…

Got an idea for improving education? Prove that it works, like @johnmighton and his team have done with Jump Math. Notice the lack of "I got influential people excited about this" hype and the abundance of ACTUAL EVIDENCE. archive.nytimes.com/opinionator.bl…

I did some volunteering with JUMP Math and @johnmighton 20+ years ago. Saw first-hand how amazing it was. Kids went from barely passing to As. Now that I'm a parent I teach my own kids the same way.

I’m excited to share this article about JUMP Math by Caroline Alphonso at The Globe and Mail. Try our short quiz at the end of it to test your Grade 6 math skills! ow.ly/fYAn50T7M9z

@johnmighton My son started Jump Math this past school year in grade three and when I saw the workbooks, I was duly impressed. As a CFO who uses mathematics, statistics, and modeling every day, I could show him the practical uses of the exercises. Best of all, he throughly enjoyed it!

It was a pleasure to speak at the Education Writers Association conference in Fort Worth, TX! Thoroughly enjoyed connecting with some new faces across the border on the science of learning math. Thanks to all who came along!

Child care experts from across Canada gathered in Toronto for #YChildCareChampions Shining Brighter conference. Stuart Shanker & Co. and Susan Hopkins, EdD spoke on self-regulation, while @johnmighton highlighted early math for equity. The event shared key child development strategies.
