Lab Sheet Annotations and Mathematics for the Primary Teacher

this gives you the answers to all the Miquon equations.

I am a former public school teacher . . . this is interesting to teach - I have used it two years in home school situation with two children - my granddaughter now finishing 2nd grade and the 3rd (blue) book and my just turned five year old grandson in the 1st (orange) book. Fun to teach . . . kids love the "hands on" approach . . . concepts are grouped so children get a feel for the relationships between numbers . . . then they are asked to "make up a problem of your own." Wonderful!!

My daughter loves this math program! We have started homeschool this year partly because she was so far behind in math and could not keep up. She hated math and it was a struggle when we first started math at home. Then I came across the Miquon series and bought the whole set. My daughter loves it she acctually likes to do math now! We have skipped around in the books a little since she had some of the basics down already. It still has been good to have the orange book because we have been able to review. I am so excited because my six year old started it today and he likes it too. I highly recomend this math program!

Miquon + Cuisenaire Rods = a wonderful way to learn mathematics! I'm a homeschool mom, and my son used the Miquon Math Student Workbooks (consumable) along with the necessary Cuisenaire Rods to discover math in an enjoyable, stress-free, hand-on "Mathematics Lab"-style way. [Another veteran homeschooling mom recommended Miquon to ME:)]The "Miquon Teachers Manual: Lab Sheet Annotations" book -- an integral part of learning math the Miquon way -- is a one-time purchase -- as it covers all six of the student workbooks. The Lab Sheet Annotations are just that -- helpful, informative, illuminating descriptions and examples... Very few "answers" are given in the Lab Sheet Annotations -- which is a plus -- moms and dads can discover the joy and simplicity of math in a way that they've probably never experienced it before -- along with their children.I can't imagine a better way to discover the patterns and concepts of mathematics. I highly recommend the Cuisenaire Rods, Miquon Student Workbooks, and the Miquon Teachers Manual: Lab Sheet Annotations. Your student will be introduced to such concepts as multiplication, division, fractions, and factors in the FIRST grade -- all while "experimenting" (playing) with their Cuisenaire rods!NOTE: In response to another reviewer's opinion that "The down side to this book is sometimes the workbook sheets that are reproduced and reduced in size in Annotations, are not easy for the student to follow." -- While all of the Student Workbook sheets are duplicated -- in a reduced size -- in the Lab Sheet Annotations for reference, the intent is for the student to use the very reasonably-priced, consumable Student Workbooks.
