JUMP Math classroom management

By Olga Ninova- Trayanova | Project Leader

There is an underlying principle in the JUMP Math methodology for managing the class and encouraging progress- when students do well on tasks, using enthusiastic and positive responses such as is a must:
- "Very good! Yay!"
- "Well done Maria, great solution!"
- "Wow, class, look how well we all did on this problem!"
- "You are doing great- like real mathematicians!"


These reactions not only motivate students, but also build their confidence and desire to actively participate. In addition to positive encouragement, JUMP teachers use a number of other strategies:
Playing math games
"Math Bingo" or competitions that make lessons fun.
Working in groups
Tasks where students work together encourage collaboration and exchange of ideas, such as working in groups of three to calculate how many apples it will take for everyone in the class if everyone wants two.
Solving real problems
Couple mathematics with real-world situations that develop skills such as financial literacy.
Regular feedback
Provides individual comments on assignments and tests, where a mistake was made and how the student can do better.

These strategies are used by our favorite teacher, Ms. Makrina Bozhkova. Currently, her students are in 3rd grade, in the primary school Hristo Botev in Lomci village. She started in 1st grade and says this is the most motivated class in math class. We are proud of Marina's students and their accomplishments. We believe that the methodology will give them a great start and confidence in exploring different life problems!
