Engage young learners with hands-on arithmetic that blends pictures, objects, and practice.

This edition shows a practical plan of instruction that favors concrete objects and everyday materials alongside visual aids. It guides teachers to foster true number sense through varied, interactive lessons.

Drawing on the idea that children learn best by handling real things, the book urges the use of beans, corn, or other counters and common weights and measures. It emphasizes clear distinctions between pictures and the objects they represent, and it encourages writing and practicing arithmetic tables on slates to build fluency and reasoning. The approach also highlights the teacher’s role in asking guiding questions and tailoring material to each child’s progress.

Progressive exercises that build accuracy and speed in addition, with emphasis on other operations as skills grow.
A strong focus on using tangible objects and measuring tools to reinforce concepts.
Suggestions to adapt lessons with thoughtful questioning and student-written work on slate and paper.
Concepts presented with practical, classroom-ready activities that aim to attract and sustain interest.

Ideal for educators and caregivers seeking a classroom-tested approach to early arithmetic using object-based lessons.
