Do you have a JUMP Math story? Tell us!

 

"I learned how to reduce the bigger fractions to be made into smaller fractions. I learned how to convert improper fractions to mixed fractions and vice versa. I saw how easy it was to do even the hardest fraction questions and problems. When I first started the finger counting everyone said it was too easy but I knew it would get harder because I did the same booklet in grade 5. I found everything easier than it was in grade 5. In other words, JUMP Math is Great!"
