Key Curriculum Press - Miquon Math - A friendly invitation to the world of mathematics - Level 4 - Green
First Grade to Third Grade
For 30 years, the Miquon Math
Materials have offered children a friendly invitation to the world of
mathematics. Based on the belief that mathematical insight grows out of
observation, investigation, and the discovery of patterns, the six workbooks
of the Miquon Math Materialslead children
through an exploration of mathematical relationships. Concrete models
are not supplements to the written work but instead are the basis of it and
are used continuously.
The Miquon Math Materials
were developed by Lore Rasmussen at the
Miquon
School in
Pennsylvania
. Originally tested in 150 classrooms, Miquon Math has since been
used by thousands of children and their teachers.
Six student workbooks
containing more than 650 lab sheets for
first- to third-grade students
cover:
-
Counting
-
Odd-even
-
Addition
-
Subtraction
-
Multiplication
-
Division
-
Fractions
-
Equalities
-
Inequalities
-
Place value

Miquon Math introduces all
four arithmetic operations and work with fractions in the first year. By the
third year, students are graphing algebraic equations. Miquon Math
gives children the basic tools early so that they can be independent problem
solvers from the first day of school. Experiences in building models
for concepts precede and prepare children for all written work.
Creative Thinking and Learning
Miquon Math encourages
children to explore a variety of learning styles without
freezing them with rigid rules or algorithms. Many children develop
unconventional ways of arriving at correct results through their own
investigations. Miquon encourages such creative thinking.
Miquon Math is designed to
individualize learning and works for the average learner as well as
the exceptionally gifted child. The workbooks are sequenced by level of
difficulty and form a complete three- to four-year curriculum.
You can also use Miquon Math
to supplement a basal program. Each workbook's arrangement by topic allows a
teacher to easily select lab sheets that relate to a specific section of any
textbook. Miquon's variety of content and emphasis on creative problem
solving will add new dimensions to a traditional mathematics program
.
