Miquon Math Blue Book

Children are encouraged to discover and demonstrate how and why math principles work using Miquon Math. The approach is hands on, with extensive use of counting rods. The focus on manipulatives helps children to grasp mathematical concepts earlier.



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 Materials lead 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.


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.


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.
