    HI Nell,

    I am a big fan of having more manipulatives–whether you are homeschooling one child or multiple children, the more hands-on manipulatives readily available make learning more natural and fun. The “bucket of Cuisenaire Rods” an excellent option to have more manipulatives “on hand”www.rainbowresource.com/product/Cuisenai…ect=10&category=2352

    As far as similar philosophy for teaching math to older students, you may wish to look at the Hands-On Equations program.

    Would love to hear from others with Cuisenaire Experience!

    Hi Catheryn,

    Thank you for the great question regarding Miquon. It would be possible to begin Miquon in first grade with a child who already knows some addition, subtraction and even a bit of multiplication. Miquon is known for introducing a variety of concepts in each book, it may still be necessary to begin with the Orange book to ensure there are no gaps in the math sequencing. I have attached the PDF Scope and Sequence for Miquon Math so you can easily see the concepts taught in each level. Please let us know if you have other questions.
