A clear, time-tested approach to teaching arithmetic through induction

This edition presents Warren Colburn’s Arithmetic upon the Inductive Method of Instruction, a sequel to Intellectual Arithmetic. It emphasizes reasoning, practical applications, and student-led discovery to build understanding.

The book is divided into two parts: a course of examples that illustrate how principles apply, and an analytical development of those principles. It guides teachers to let students explore, question, and explain, rather than simply memorize rules. The approach favors small, concrete problems and gradual progression to more complex ideas.

Two-part structure: practical examples followed by principle development
Teacher guidance that centers student exploration and self-discovery
Step-by-step progression with emphasis on reasoning over rote memorization
Advice on introducing concepts, questions to prompt understanding, and methods for older students

Ideal for educators, students, and homeschooling contexts seeking a historically proven method for teaching arithmetic with clarity and patient progression.
