In this episode of Talking Impact, we sit down with John Mighton, mathematician, playwright, and founder of JUMP Math, an organization transforming how children learn and experience math in classrooms across Canada and internationally. Drawing on the brain science of learning, John shares how thoughtfully designed math instruction can build confidence, reduce anxiety, and help all students succeed.
Together, John and Chris explore why math is such a powerful predictor of long-term academic success, how fear and failure can shut down learning, and what it takes to keep students in the optimal zone for growth. They also discuss how scaffolded learning, deliberate practice, and collaborative classroom strategies can help students thrive and build confidence in math.
