I wish this book were longer, but it is still helpful for wrapping your mind around the way Miquon should be "taught." This is a FABULOUS curriculum that builds incredible number sense. This particular book isn't essential. The Lab Sheet Annotations book is, though!
-----
Children have free access to the materials in the room, and they use them as they feel a need to demonstrate to themselves "how something works" or to prove that their conjectures are correct. These materials are not conceived of as "crutches" to learning, but as the child's version of the laboratory behavior of the adult researcher who makes direct observations, sets up experiments, collects data, and generalizes from them--before he is willing to accept ideas as facts.
-----
If you observe children making careless mistakes, guide them with questions and suggest that they prove their answers. This will help them find their errors.
-----
At no time during this stage is stress laid upon "memorization of number facts." The child is merely given opportunity after opportunity to practice translating from action to symbolic representation and from notation to a model situation which the notation describes.... During all this time his gradual substitution of mental operations for concrete operations (except with new topics) has been barely noticeable. Also, his almost automatic acquisition of computational skills for simple arithmetic facts has been smooth.
