JUMP MATH INSTRUCTIONAL APPROACHES – by Dr. Melanie Tait JUMP Math is based on the belief that with support and encouragement, all children will succeed at math. When teachers believe that all students can succeed, they will strive to establish a classroom environment where all students feel comfortable participating and taking risks. In JUMP classrooms, if students don’t understand, the teacher must assume responsibility and find another way to explain the material. Three essential characteristics for a JUMP teacher are the ability to diagnose where students ”are at”, customize instruction to suit individual children, and improvise to meet their needs. As Glickman (1991) writes: “Effective teaching is not a set of generic practices, but instead is a set of context-driven decisions about teaching. Effective teachers do not use the same set of practices for every lesson. . . Instead, what effective teachers do is constantly reflect about their work, observe whether students are learning or not, and, then adjust their practice accordingly (p. 6). JUMP teachers, like all excellent teachers, know their students well and use a variety of creative instructional strategies to meet their needs. JUMP teachers are constantly checking in with students to make sure everyone is moving forward. A JUMP class is a busy and interactive learning environment. JUMP recognizes that teachers are skilled professionals with unique strengths and teaching preferences. Accordingly, the JUMP Math program is designed to accommodate a number of instructional approaches and strategies. Teachers are encouraged to vary instructional approaches and strategies to suit the class and the needs of individual students. JUMP’s approach is built on the belief that all children can learn when provided with the appropriate learning conditions in the classroom. Learning is supported through explicit instruction, interaction with the teacher and classmates, and independent learning and practice. The program is composed of well-defined learning objectives organized into smaller, sequentially organized units. Generally, unit consist of discrete topics which all students begin together. Students who do not satisfactorily complete a topic are given additional instruction until they succeed. Students who master the topic early engage in enrichment activities until the entire class can progress together.

**Putting the Jigsaw Together – assisting apprentices with numeracy issues **
Manufacturing Skills Australia (MSA) announced the release of ‘Putting the Jigsaw Together – practical strategies for assisting apprentices with numeracy issues’. The resource is available for vocational trainers or RTOs and can be easily adapted to meet the needs of any industry sector. The new MSA resources are designed as a series of tool kits to address numeracy issues that may present when working with apprentices in manufacturing industries. ‘Putting the Jigsaw Together’ is now available as a **FREE download** on MSA’s **website**.
