Excerpt from The Primary Public School Arithmetic

This book is strictly introductory to "The Public School Arithmetic," and forms with it a complete course. In both, the method of treatment closely follows "The Psychology of Number." A few special points in the Primary may be noticed.

1. While number work in the first grade may be largely incidental, it ought not to be accidental. The teacher should have a clear conception of the work to be done, and of the order and method by which the child may step by step reach the desired end. When the child enters school the number sense is alert; he is, roughly speaking, in the counting stage of development. Upon the principle "strike while the iron is hot," this counting power should at once be used for further growth by applying it to more definite measurements. Such application arouses fresh interest in number, and is in a high degree educative. On this point Dr. Dewey says, "Unless there is to be arrested development when the child enters school, some function must be found with reference to which he may utilize his ability to count - the number sense becomes vitalized and truly educative at this point by being largely directed towards the definition of values in the form of measurement."
