Synopsis

This book delves into the objectives of teaching arithmetic in the elementary school. The author contends that learning is an active process, dependent on the pupil's participation in learning activities crucial for developing the mental equipment needed for arithmetic proficiency. The identification of eight types of situations for which pupils should be equipped to respond provides a framework. These situations range from comprehending number symbols and technical terms to solving verbal problems and extracting information from practical experiences. Moreover, the book emphasizes the significance of general patterns of conduct, such as the habit of accuracy and a problem-solving attitude, in shaping a student's approach to arithmetic. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the objectives, learning activities, and essential elements for effective arithmetic instruction, making it a valuable resource for educators seeking to enhance their teaching practices in this subject.
