Miquon Math is a curriculum for Grades 1-3, developed in the 1960s by Lore Rasmussen at the Miquon School in Pennsylvania. Its hands-on lab approach helps children actively explore math concepts, learning by doing.

Cathy Duffy says, "...because of unique methods of teaching arithmetic concepts, younger children can begin to learn arithmetic through the hands-on activities, and older children can also benefit from Miquon used as a supplement... It's a hands-on approach that is very strong on development of conceptual understanding."
A homeschool mom said, "Miquon was fun and effective for my very verbal daughter, but I think this program really shines with kids who learn best by doing, as my son does. He is a hands-on learner, and this program is especially good for students like him, for whom verbal explanations of mathematical concepts are difficult to grasp."
