Description
“The Red Book (Grade 1, Level 2) is the second book for first grade. (It is preceded by The Orange Book and followed by The Blue Book.) It includes a number of ‘lab sheets’–workbook pages that teach math through creative exploration using hands-on manipulatives. Activities guide students through the learning process, introducing and reinforcing concepts through touch, sight, movement, and mental engagement. This unique combination creates an environment where active minds are encouraged—leading to a greater level of comprehension from the start. Teachers can also pace lessons according to the student; topics can be covered out of order, and students can move as quickly or as slowly as necessary.”
“Specific skills covered in The Red Book include:
- Odd-Even
- Addition
- Subtraction
- Multiplication
- Fractions
- Division
- Equalities and Inequalities
- Factoring
“Miquon Math asserts that teaching math to young children cannot only be done through verbal teaching. Rather, it should be a doing, discovering, ‘puzzling-out’ situation in which children are guided to pose questions, and answer them, in a variety of ways.”
