Our new math program is a hands-on hit. This year we switched to Miquon mathematics, developed by the progressive Miquon School in the 1960s. Miquon introduces all four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) in the 1st grade, using Cuisenaire Rods as hands-on manipulatives, and the curriculum continues to challenge students through subsequent grades. You can download the complete Scope & Sequence HERE. After students learn through all six Miquon books, they will move to Investigations in Numbers, Data, and Space. Investigations uses a constructivist-based approach to learning mathematics and helping our children think like a mathematician.
