Best Selling Books by John Mighton

A revolutionary call for a new understanding of how people learn. The End of Ignorance conceives of a world in which no child is left behind—a world based on the assumption that each child has the potential to be successful in every subject. John Mighton argues that by recognizing the barriers that we have experienced in our own educational development, by identifying the moment that we became disenchanted with a certain subject and forever closed ourselves off to it, we will be able to eliminate these same barriers from standing in the way of our children. A passionate examination of our present education system, The End of Ignorance shows how we all can work together to reinvent the way that we are taught.

From the award-winning founder of JUMP Math comes a road map for success in math study, and an impassioned call for a more just society where intellectual achievement is available to the many instead of the privileged few. For two decades, John Mighton has developed strategies for fostering intellectual potential in all children through learning math. Math, Mighton says, provides us with mental tools of incredible power. When we learn math we learn to see patterns, to think logically and systematically, to draw analogies, to perceive risk, to understand cause and effect--among many other critical skills. Yet we tolerate and in fact expect a vast performance gap in math among students, and live in a world where many adults aren''t equipped with these crucial tools. This learning gap is unnecessary, dangerous and tragic, he cautions, and it has led us to a problem of intellectual poverty which is apparent everywhere--in fake news, political jargon, floundering economies, even in erroneous medical diagnoses. In All Things Being Equal, Mighton posits that math study is an ideal starting point to break down social inequality and empower individuals to build a smarter, kinder, more equitable world. He offers scientifically proven step-by-step teaching methods and shows that a focus on the beauty of learning results in humans with the ability to make wiser choices, and to appreciate the interconnectedness of things rather than the rewards of being better than one''s peers. Bringing together the latest cognitive research and incremental learning strategies, including brilliant insights on analogies as "the keys to creativity," Mighton goes deep into the classroom and beyond to offer a hopeful--and urgent--vision for a numerate society.

Argues that anyone can learn mathematics and describes a teaching program to help struggling math students.

John Mighton’s JUMP program is changing the way math is taught, and his powerful math workbooks give children the tools they need to master this crucial subject. The key is a step-by-step teaching method that isolates and describes concepts so clearly that anyone can understand them: students build on their successes, becoming proficient at solving problems with confidence and enthusiasm. Now, parents and caregivers can bring the JUMP program home. These workbooks follow the current student worksheets used by JUMP tutors and classroom teachers, including: an introduction for parents and caregivers that clearly explains the thinking behind the program and provides hours of activities, worksheets carefully designed to enable children to move from one success to the next, a glossary of math terms, and a selected answer key.

From the playwright who brought cybersex, virtual reality, dog suicide and necrophilia to the stage, comes a new play about the passing of time, our own immortality, and the way in which our lives are extended in the bodies and minds of others. A recipient of the Governor General''s Literary Award for Drama, a philosopher and a mathematician, John Mighton leads us on another intriguing journey which explores the passionate connection between science, philosophy, and human nature and emotions.

"Two nursing home residents, both in their 80s, meet and fall in love, rekindling what might have been a wartime romance. Had they previously met somewhere else under different circumstances? Why is their love so troubling for their children? Indeed, the light at dusk is sometimes warmer and more enveloping than that of the midday sun. Characters navigate between being and appearance, between cowardice and dissoluteness."--BOOK JACKET.

"Confirms Mighton''s status as an intellectually absorbing writer" --Toronto Star

Jim, a young physicist, moves to an army research facility with his fiancée Carol to continue his post-doctoral studies. The play traces the breakdown of their relationship as he is drawn deeply into military research and she is forced to confront the dangers of her own work in computer science. By layering images and ideas from contemporary science, the play extends the psychological and narrative conventions of realistic theatre.

Jump math was founded in the belief that all children, even those who have traditionally struggled at school, can learn mathematics. The JUMP Math student assessment & practice books are meant to be used in conjunction with the extensive teacher resources to enable students to practice and explore subtle variations on the lessons and to enable teachers to rapidly assess progress. For each lesson, there is a clear and highly effective lesson plan, which enables teachers to accomplish the seemingly impossible task of teaching to the whole class while tailoring to individual needs. Each lesson is carefully designed to generate deep, subtle, transferable mastery of key concepts. Lesson plans include ideas for contextualizing the math, questions and tasks that allow students to discover mathematical concepts, games, activities, and innovative extension questions that keep "fast" students engaged and learning while teachers help others to master the key objectives.
