Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic This work has been prepared with a view to the needs of Teachers' Reading Circles and of those who are giving in struction or supervising the work in arithmetic in the elemen tary schools. The effort has been made to free it from the more difficult technicalities of mathematics as far as possible, and from that phraseology of the world of pedagogy that renders educational problems unnecessarily difficult. It is the author's desire to place before the large body of teachers of arithmetic, rather than the few who are interested in the technicalities of experiment, a brief silmmary of the develop ment of the science and of the reasons for teaching it; a statement of the subject matter that may properly be selected for school purposes, and the arrangement of this matter in a course of study; a consideration of a few of the technical features of arithmetic; and a discussion of the work of the several school years. He feels it quite unnecessary, however, to repeat at length the simple explanations and devices that are found in any good textbook, believing that the teacher will usually find it advantageous in such matters to follow the book that she is using.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Textbook on the Teaching of Arithmetic IN planning the present book, the author has kept in mind three aspects of the teacher's preparation: the need of the perspective gained through a comprehen sion of the larger teaching problems concerned in the teaching of arithmetic, the need of a clear insight into the content of arithmetic, and the need of an understand ing of arithmetic method. The book exploits no new doctrine. It lays no claim to completeness. It has been prepared with the primary aim of supplying the practical needs of prospective teachers, or teachers new in the ser vice. On account of the efiort made to refresh the mind of the reader in the subject matter of arithmetic, the read ing frequently goes beyond the requirements of the grades, this being especially noticeable in the treatment of percen tage and in the solution of problems. If any dogmatism appears in the context, it is the result of efiorts to be clear and convincing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Arithmetic: A Manual for Teachers A. The Practical Values. B. The Traditional Values, which include 1. The Disciplinary Values. 2. The Pleasure Values. 3. The Cultural Value. 4. The Preparatory Value. An analysis of each of these values now presents itself for study. The Practical Values of Arithmetic. - The utilitarian value of arithmetic has long served to explain its traditional place in the elementary school curriculum. The mere routine activities of daily life demand a mastery of certain number facts and number processes. In addition, a care fully selected curriculum in arithmetic helps to give children an insight into social activities that would otherwise be unknown to them. It is necessary that children understand the meaning of averages and the modes of computing them; that they know the meaning of common mathematical symbols, of percentages of increases and decreases, of rates of taxation, of interest, of insurance - in a word, the common business practices of social life.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic This study is based upon twenty years' experience Of school and college education ranging through all grades, including the very elements of counting and form in the kindergarten, the mathematics appropriate to the school, and the standard required Of students for an Honours Degree in our universities. Conclusions based on class-teaching and those arrived at by experiment and by a private study Of the individual have served both to correct and to supplement each other. The substance of the present volume has also formed the introductory part Of a course of lectures on the teaching of mathematics, which, for many years, I have given in various institutions to classes of teachers from almost all types and grades Of schools, elementary as well as secondary and tertiary.

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Teaching Arithmetic This book, as its title indicates, is a discussion of principles and methods of teaching arithmetic. A complete study of methods of teaching any subject involves two things (a) A study of guiding principles, and (b) A study of the details of method - of possible methods of presenting the various parts of the subject. The best place to study the details of method is in connection with a review of subject matter, but such a study should be preceded or accompanied by a study of general principles. It is the purpose of this book to do three things (a) To give a clear conception of the ends to be accomplished through the work in arithmetic (b) To analyze the teaching of arithmetic into the different kinds or types of teaching that occur in the subject and to give an understanding of guiding principles and a knowledge of possible methods of procedure, tools and devices to be used in each of these types; and (c) To make clear, by means of numerous illustrations and lesson plans, how these general principles and methods of procedure apply to the teaching of the particular subject of arithmetic. The material of this book has all been developed and used in the author's classes during the last six years, and is presented here in book form in. the hope that it may contribute something toward improving and standardizing the teaching of arithmetic. It is believed that this book will be found suitable for use as a text for normal schools and teachers' reading circles.

Excerpt from The Art of Teaching Arithmetic: A Book for Class Teachers Another limitation must be mentioned. I have accepted the present system of teaching children in large classes, not because I consider this ideal, but because it seems worth while to attempt the improvement in one direction of a state of matters likely to continue yet awhile.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching and History of Mathematics in the United States On the study of mathematics in elementary schools of the American colonies but little can be said. In early colonial days schools did not exist except in towns and in the more densely settled districts; and oven where schools were kept, the study of mathematics was often not pursued at all, or consisted simply in learning to count and to perform the fundamental operations with integral numbers. Thus, in Hampstead, N. H., in 1750, it was voted "to hire a school-master for six mouths in ye summer season to teach ye children to read and write." Arithmetic had not yet been introduced there. As late as the beginning of this century there were schools in country districts in which arithmetic was not taught at all. Bronson Alcott, the prominent educator, born in Massachusetts in 1799, in describing the schools of his boyhood, says: "Until within a few years no studies have been permitted in the day school but spelling, reading, and writing. Arithmetic was taught by a few instructors one or two evenings in a week. But in spite of the most determined opposition arithmetic is now permitted in the day school." This was in Massachusetts at the beginning of this century. In secondary schools, "ciphering" was taught during colonial times, which consisted generally in drilling students in the manipulation of integral numbers. He was an exceptional teacher who possessed a fair knowledge of "fractions" and the "rule of three," and if some pupil of rare genius managed to master fractions, or even pass beyond the "rule of three," then he was judged a finished mathematician. The best teachers of those days were college students or college graduates who engaged in teaching as a stepping-stone to something better. An example of this class of teachers was John Adams, afterwards President of the United States. Immediately after graduating at Harvard and before entering upon the study of law, he presided, for a few years, over the grammar school at Worcester.

Book Description
Excerpt from Principles and Methods of Arithmetic Teaching It is not so much whether a teacher is a good teacher as whether she is a progressive teacher. The good teacher may deteriorate, the progressive teacher never. Proper method is as essential to the teacher as to the singer or the painter. Without some knowledge of the technique of the profession, little progress can be made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Teaching of Mathematics Perhaps no subject is so directly in the flux of the instability of things as mathematics. For cen turies this subject has held the unenviable reputa tion of being tortuous; yet man, because of his un ending need of the subject, has endured silently. It has been one of the necessary evils of life, yet, did man but know it, wonderfully full of beauty in its symmetry and exactness. Indispensible to the man who builds, to the man who barters, to the man who meditates, it has ever been shrouded with a mantle of mysticism. One might say with truth that they who have the greatest need of the find ings of mathematical investigation have the smallest Opportunity to acquire a knowledge of them.
