Miquon School, Miquon Math ... what's the connection?

Almost 40 years ago, a discovery-based mathematics program for first through third grade called Miquon Math was developed at the Miquon School by teachers Lore Rasmussen, Bob Hightower, and others. In recent years, it has become very popular with homeschoolers, many of whom have come to this site looking for information. However, the school has never held the copyright and does not sell the books.

You will find it (along with many other excellent mathematics education materials) through its publisher,  Key Curriculum Press, in Emeryville, CA. Their website is here:
