Mighton is the founder of JUMP, a Canadian educational charity providing math tutoring to elementary-level students in the Toronto area. He describes the philosophy of JUMP, which assumes that all children are capable of learning mathematics and aims to close the gaps between strong and weak students, rather than just classify them. After laying out the argument for the efficacy of JUMP, he presents six units from The JUMP Teaching Manual demonstrating how the method works. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
