For two decades, John Mighton has developed strategies for fostering intellectual potential in all children through learning math. 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. 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 vision for a numerate society.
