A trusted, classroom-tested arithmetic primer that builds quick accuracy and real‑world math skills for young learners.

This edition outlines a two‑book sequence designed to cover the second through fifth years of arithmetic. It emphasizes both fast, exact number work and the practical application of methods to everyday problems. The material invites pupil self‑activity and original problem framing, using problems from home, school, street, and later larger social and industrial life.

The book presents two problem types: direct, principle‑based exercises and groups of related “Everyday Use of Numbers” problems. It also blends drills with motivating activities, including number games, speed tests, and real‑life scenarios, to build accuracy, speed, and confident understanding of arithmetic principles.

Clear progression from basic counting to more complex operations across chapters
Problems drawn from daily life to reinforce practical math skills
Two formats: isolated problems and connected, real‑world groups
Tests and exercises that encourage speed and accuracy through regular practice

Ideal for teachers, parents, and students seeking a traditional, structured approach to foundational arithmetic.
