Inhaltsangabe

Excerpt from Everyday Arithmetic, Vol. 1

The work is arranged so that the pupils will acquire skill in com puting, but in approaching the formal aspects of the work, the book makes an important departure from the textbooks of the past. The problems and exercises are grouped by situations taken from actual experience, so that a child meets number as vitally related to his home and school interests. Each new process is taught in connec tion with a concrete situation requiring its use. Each group of prob lems is centered about a familiar activity.

The advantages of this grouping are threefold: It gives a child insight into the purpose of number work and wins his hearty co operation; it breaks down the artificial barrier between the arith metic that is taught in the schoolroom and that which a child meets in his outside experience, so that the two become interwoven and both are enriched; further, it gives a child that which is of prime importance, power to use the number processes under conditions similar to those that confront him in life.

Excerpt from Everyday Arithmetic, Vol. 1

This book is intended for use in the third and fourth grades; but, if desired, it may be begun in the second grade. It aims primarily to give a child an active interest in number and to make him intelligent and skillful in applying it to his everyday experiences.

The work is arranged so that there is a systematic development of number concepts, and of the fundamental facts and processes; but, in approaching the formal work, the book makes an important departure from current practice. The problems and exercises are grouped by situations taken from actual experience, so that a child meets number vitally related to his home and school interests. The fundamental facts and tables are taught through games and plays; the fundamental processes, largely through school and community interests. United States money is taught through a series of projects in buying and selling; and measuring, through construction work.

The advantages of this grouping are threefold: It gives a child insight into the purpose of number work and wins his hearty cooperation; it breaks down the artificial barrier between the arithmetic that is taught in the schoolroom and that which a child meets in his outside experience, so that the two become interwoven and both are enriched; further, it gives a child that which is of prime importance, power to use the number processes under conditions similar to those that confront him in life.

From the formal standpoint, recent investigations in the teaching of arithmetic have shown a need of more systematic treatment of the fundamental facts and processes. The organization of the formal work in this book is such as to make provision for daily practice work in the essential processes, and at the same time for a differentiation, one at a time, of limited groups of number facts for complete and automatic mastery.
