Synopsis

Practical arithmetic for grammar grades, built around concrete problems and real classroom needs.

Aimed at supporting teachers, this edition emphasizes hands-on mastery over rules and rote drills, guiding students from eight to fifteen years old through five or six years of work in a single, cohesive sequence.

The book prioritizes oral work, gradual progression, and clear demonstrations that connect numbers to the real world. It offers structured lessons in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and fractions, with a strong focus on applying math to everyday tasks. The approach centers on making math tangible, with carefully graded problems and teacher-friendly hints designed to stay within a child’s experience.

• Concrete, story-like problems that illustrate core arithmetic principles
• Guidance on balancing oral and written work for steady progress
• Progressively structured material across two parts and multiple topics
• Practical devices and examples to help students visualize measures and operations

Ideal for teachers and students seeking a practical, classroom-tested path through early arithmetic, including the transition from concrete to abstract concepts.
