Unlock how children learn arithmetic through reason and real-world practice.

This edition presents Warren Colburn’s inductive approach, emphasizing student-led exploration over rules, with plenty of practical examples to build number sense from the ground up.

Start with concrete problems that connect counting to everyday objects, then move to abstract reasoning.
Learn how to use simple, verifiable strategies to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
See how fractions and basic algebraic ideas are introduced through visual plates and guided practice.
Understand how the instructor’s role is to observe, explain, and gradually increase difficulty.

Ideal for teachers, tutors, and curious readers interested in the development of elementary math instruction and the foundations of arithmetic reasoning.

This classic instructional work guides you through a progression from concrete experience to abstract understanding, with careful notes on pedagogy and reproducible exercises. It emphasizes student discovery, gradual complexity, and using tangible objects to reinforce new concepts, making it a practical reference for anyone exploring the history and method of early math education.
