Happy Halloween from JUMP Math!

Spooky sums and frightening fractions don’t have to give you chills — with a little practice, math doesn't have to be scary and can be a lot of fun!

Our team will be at Indspire National Gathering for Indigenous Education on Nov. 19 in Winnipeg, MB. This conference is the perfect opportunity for educators to learn and explore the different methods of improving educational outcomes for indigenous students.

The math of the Islamic Golden Age is still with us today — in classrooms, in technology, and in the way we see the world.
Math connects cultures. Math connects us.

Halloween is almost here! Why not add a few tricks or treats to math class — and even a few witches with this bewitched math riddle!

The teacher assigned math questions 1 to 9, but the Halloween witches skipped 2, 4, 6, and 8. Why?
Because witches only ever do odd things!

Integrating Social and Emotional Learning into Mathematics Education: A Multiple Case Study of JUMP Math’s Approach to Creating Socially and Emotionally Supportive Learning Environments Integrating social and emotional learning (SEL) into academic instruction may improve well-being and achievement. In mathematics—where anxiety and negative attitudes often hinder learning—SEL may be especially useful. This multiple case study examined how a math curriculum that explicitly embeds SEL principles shapes learning environments and teacher/student experiences. Using a multiple case study design, we conducted classroom observations, teacher interviews, and check-ins in six Grade 5–7 classrooms implementing JUMP Math, a program that centers social–emotional well-being. Three themes characterized the SEL-integrated environment: (1) Teaching Energy—steady pacing, enthusiastic delivery, and humor; (2) Learning Harmony—progressing together, peer help, and the normalization of mistakes; and (3) Emotional Stability—supportive feedback, invitations to participate, and respectful, responsive interactions. Teachers reported greater confidence and reduced math anxiety; students showed higher engagement, cooperation, and resilience in problem-solving. Findings indicate that math curricula intentionally designed with SEL can create emotionally supportive classrooms that benefit both teachers and students, while advancing academic goals. The findings contribute to understanding how academic instruction can be leveraged to develop social and emotional competence while maintaining focus on academic achievement.

academic gains observed in quantitative studies."

"The qualitative evidence indicates that attention to social-emotional needs—through collaborative structures, mistake normalization, and emotionally stable environments—may enhance students’ willingness and capacity to engage with and master mathematical content, thereby contributing to the

The findings suggest that addressing social-emotional needs may be a key factor enabling JUMP Math to achieve outcomes that surpass other mathematics curricula.

This study by esteemed prof. of neuroscience and Tier 1 Canada Research Chair at UBC, @adelediamond.bsky.social and Tonje Molyneux examines "JUMP Math’s approach to creating socially and emotionally supportive learning environments".

We're so excited to share the just published findings of this study in the peer-reviewed, open access journal, Behavioral Sciences on integrating SEL into mathematics education.

Don't miss this chance to experience the amazing energy and ideas generated by this fast-growing network of teachers, researchers and policy-makers in Canada.

Dr. Mighton will also participate in the closing panel discussion, "Building Together – Teaching Mathematics and Literacy” at 3:45 pm together with Jamie Metsala, Dr. Amanda VanDerHeyden, and George Georgiou.

This presentation will explore how contemporary instructional strategies are failing to engage students in math and what methods can be employed to radically transform engagement.

Planning to attend Research ED Atlantic (Canada) in Halifax on October 25?

Be sure to join Dr. John Mighton at 11:15 am AT, for an insightful discussion on, “The Decline in Math Engagement”.

This presentation will explore how contemporary instructional strategies are failing to engage students in math and what methods can be employed to radically transform engagement.

Math is more than numbers — it’s also beauty, symmetry, and design.
Muslim mathematicians advanced geometry and trigonometry and their discoveries inspired breathtaking art and architecture.

At JUMP Math, we recognize Uhlenbeck as one of our math hero’s. We even named a room at our office in honour of her incredible contributions to the field.

#WomensHistoryMonth
#WomenInSTEM

Uhlenbeck won the Abel Prize in 2019 and was the first woman to do so since it’s inception in 2003. She is currently a Distinguished Visiting Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study and remains one of the many inspiring women that contribute to the continued advancement of mathematics.

During Women's history month we're featuring incredible women who have contributed to the advancement of the field of mathematics.

This week we’d like to recognize Karen Keskulla Uhlenbeck, an American mathematician and a founder of modern geometric analysis.

Looking forward to connecting with Canadian education leaders to discuss ideas about math education and gather their insights at the ERDI Fall 2025 Conference this week in Halifax, NS!
