by David Bornstein, Opinionator commentary, New York Times, April 19, 2011. Author discusses a successful new elementary school level math curriculum, Jump Math, in use in Canada and England. The founder of Jump Math, John Mighton, believes the key is in teachers working with students to break math problems down into steps, that can be further broken down.
