Synopsis

This book presents an innovative educational system using an octal (base 8) system of arithmetic, the Octimal Notation, to teach math in a more simple and effective way. The author argues that our current Decimal System, based on tens, is deeply flawed and impedes learning. They propose that the Octimal System’s use of eights and etreds (multiples of eight) makes for an easier grasp of multiplication, division, and other mathematical concepts. This book offers a complete elementary arithmetic course using this system and shows how it can be used in areas such as geometry, weights, measures, money, time, and more. The author believes that this new approach will revolutionize the way math is taught and equip students with a deeper understanding of numbers.
