Synopsis

A gentle, practical introduction to arithmetic for beginners, aligned with 19th‑century school work.

This edition presents a clear path from basic counting to simple money calculations, using short, accessible exercises shown in familiar daily contexts.

The book frames two key ideas: teach one rule at a time, then provide plenty of simple practice. It covers names and numbers, counting, addition and subtraction, and the beginnings of multiplication and division. It also introduces money, weight, length, and time, with a brief opening to fractions and practical applications.

• Step-by-step lessons that build curiosity and confidence in young learners
• Lots of worked examples and plenty of practice problems tied to real life
• Sections on money handling, household accounts, and basic measurement
• Introductory material on fractions and the foundations of arithmetic rules

Ideal for readers seeking a traditional, curriculum‑style introduction to arithmetic that emphasizes gradual mastery and practical application.
