Miquon Math Labs:
Early-Elementary Math Curriculum for Hands-On Learners.
“My son has to do math last
so he can do as much as he would like.”

What is Miquon Math?
Miquon Math is a hands-on math curriculum for Grades 1-3, developed in the 1960s by Lore Rasmussen at the Miquon School in Pennsylvania. Its tactile lab approach helps children actively explore math concepts, learning by doing.
The program comprises six student books, two for each grade, and three teacher support books. An important component is the use of Cuisenaire rods as a physical and visual connection to math concepts.
Active Minds
When children’s minds are actively engaged, math concepts are much more readily learned. Miquon Math takes a unique approach to introducing the relationship between numbers.
Tactile
Cuisenaire Rods are an important part of teaching math with the Miquon Math Labs program. They provide a tactile element that helps children visualize and better understand mathematical concepts.
Guided
Several resources are available to give parents and teachers the tools needed to effectively teach math, including sheet-by-sheet instructions and a glimpse into Miquon in action through Lore’s diary.
