JUMP Math

Provides comprehensive teacher support through detailed scripted lessons, videos, and instructional guidance.

Offers 'Mighton Minutes' videos addressing topics like 'How to Quickly Catch Students Up in Math' and 'Math Anxiety,' plus detailed lesson explanations and teaching strategies

Strongly supports direct instruction through detailed scripted lesson plans that guide teacher-student interactions.

Uses 'scripted lesson plans' and 'requires direct instruction, making it a good choice for parents with the time and inclination to present the lessons'

Uses a mastery-based approach with incremental skill building designed to prevent gaps and build confidence.

The program uses 'incrementally more challenging concepts at each stage of learning' and includes assessment checklists and continuous assessment to ensure understanding before progressing

Includes continuous assessment tools and diagnostic features to identify student understanding gaps.

Features 'continuous assessment' through AP workbooks, 'Assessment Checklists,' and JUMP Math Lab that 'should be especially helpful for those who have not mastered concepts already taught at earlier levels'

Extensively uses manipulatives, visual models, and hands-on activities to support conceptual development.

Program utilizes 'manipulatives, whiteboard drawings, games' and includes 'printable masters for manipulatives (e.g., pattern blocks and number cards)' with more visual supports in earlier grades

Incorporates real-world applications and problem-solving through interactive activities but lacks systematic word problem instruction.

Includes 'Extension exercises provide more interactive problem-solving' and uses real-world contexts like storybooks, but EdReports noted weakness in application skills

The curriculum emphasizes conceptual understanding through inquiry-based discovery but may underemphasize procedural fluency development.

EdReports rated it as 'Does Not Meet Expectations' for rigor and mathematical practices, indicating weakness in balancing conceptual understanding with procedural skills and application

Provides interactive exercises and immediate feedback during teacher-led presentations but limited evidence of traditional worked examples.

Lessons include 'interactive exercises presented by the teacher so that students can check their comprehension. Answers follow immediately after each exercise'

Includes continuous assessment and homework pages but limited evidence of systematic spaced review or retrieval practice.

Provides 'continuous assessment' through AP workbooks and 'homework pages (one per lesson)' but no mention of cumulative review or spaced practice
