<br/><br/> Parents whose children are struggling with math will welcome this anecdotal account of a charitable tutoring program called JUMP (Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies) founded by Canadian author Mighton and currently serving elementary-level students in the Toronto area. Taking an upbeat approach, Mighton argues that we're all born capable of learning anything.
