Math knowledge grew 2x with JUMP vs. other methods

John Mighton tells how JUMP Math - http://www.jumpmath.org - enables all children to learn math. Children cease to compete against each other and instead compete against the problem collectively. Teachers teach better with JUMP Math. Preliminary results from a randomized controlled study show that the math knowledge of children using JUMP Math grew twice as much as that of children using the usual methods of math instruction in a school district in Ontario.

"We would think kids are stunted if they didn't see any beauty in a mountain or a star, but we think it is natural for them to graduate from school without any sense of the invisible beauty of the world....the incredible connections, the elegant design of the universe. This is a birthright of kids".
