Why math is the key to a better world?

JUMP Math teachers' group reflection,Pre-K group

We've been constantly trying to reach more teachers and help more students understand and communicate with the world using the language of math. It’s already December and still we are receiving trained teachers who decide to improve their pedagogical math practice. We know it is never too late to invest in one’s professional development, it is never too late to help students fulfill their math talent. We have more than 2000 students taught with JUMP Math materials and around 10% are children from vulnerable groups supported by your kind donations. We started your methodological support interventions, visited JUMP classrooms, carried out webinars. We found inspiration in JUMP Math’s founder John Mighton and his last book All Things Being Equal: Why Math Is the Key to a Better World. In the midst of the world crisis, his message has never been more relevant: math will help create more equal and inclusive society, math will lead us to a better understanding and better decision making. Don’t miss to read his book.

We feel so privileged to have the opportunity to spread John Mighton’s legacy and powerful messages to Bulgarian teachers.

We wish you all, dear supporters in our big JUMP Math family, peaceful and pleasant Christmas holidays.

Thank you for the support all these years! Let us have a better 2022!

We have the key – math with JUMP Math!

The school year started with lots of love for math

The 4th graders of Mrs Hinova

It's been two weeks since the school year started here in Bulgaria. With all the uncertainties going on in our country and worldwide it hasn’t been easy for teachers and parents. We know that now more than before schools will need our help in order to provide access to the best education to students from unprivileged backgrounds. This will be the focus of our work for this school year – to support our educational community as much as we can. Another reason motivates us even more to go on with our work – our 10^th anniversary since JUMP Math was introduced for the first time in Bulgarian schools. To be more accurate, JUMP Math started in two classrooms for about 40 students and since then we have reached more than 1500 teachers and 15 000 students from all over the country. JUMP Math is an opportunity to learn, to think, to understand the world and communicate with it using the language of mathematics. JUMP Math gives the love for math and this year we managed to provide this best educational tool to 250 of our students.

On the pictures we introduce to you the students from the classroom of Mrs Petya Hinova in Pravets, a small town 70 km away from the capital. She’s been a JUMP Math teacher since the beginning and she never gave up because she’s always firmly believed JUMP Math gives her students a chance to thrive at school and love learning math. Her students are in the 4^th grade and they have started their primary education with JUMP Math from the 1^st grade. They are in class and they learn math with joy and enthusiasm. They love it when Mrs Hinova invites them to take out the JUMP Math materials. The 4^th graders of Mrs Hinova among with 230 scholars more from the “Ignite love for math for 250 students” and other 1500 students in Bulgaria will learn and love math with JUMP Math this year. We are so grateful to be able to witness their progress! We are grateful for all the support! We will follow up on their successes during the school year and the end of the primary years of education! And we are very sure they will have many to be proud of!
