Dr. John Mighton is an award-winning mathematician, playwright, and best-selling author internationally recognized for his ground-breaking work building children’s confidence, skills, and success in math.

He founded the Canadian charity JUMP Math (Junior Undiscovered Math Prodigies) in 2002 with an equity-driven mission to empower every child to achieve their potential through accessible math education. JUMP Math’s K-8 resources currently support thousands of educators and students in North America and other countries to teach, learn, and love math.

Dr. Mighton holds a master’s degree in philosophy from McMaster University and a PhD in Mathematics from the University of Toronto, where he frequently teaches at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. A recipient of the Order of Canada, Dr. Mighton has published three books on math education, given hundreds of talks on the subject, including a TEDx Talk and keynote at the Aspen Brain Forum, and has received many awards and honorary doctorates in recognition of his work. His latest book, All Things Being Equal: Why Math is the Key to a Better World, offers a compelling argument for why accessible math education can and must be available to everyone. In a twist of fate in his early career, Dr. Mighton played Matt Damon’s math tutor in the 1997 movie, Good Will Hunting
