Synopsis
Excerpt from A Survey of the Social and Business Usage of Arithmetic
The author takes pleasure in ascribing whatever of merit this study may possess to the help and inspiration of his teachers and associates. Particular credit is due to Dr. G. D. Strayer for the inspiration and guidance which led to the inception of the study, to Dr. Henry Suzzallo and Dr. Milo B. Hillegas for helpful suggestions, to Dr. Frank M. McMurry and Dr. Frederick G. Bonser for careful guidance and detailed help in completing the work.
Acknowledgments are due and gratefully given to the superintendents, principals and teachers without whose cooperation in gathering the data the work could not have been carried forward; to the students in education at the Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, whose kindly interest and due appreciation of a real problem led them to cooperate in scoring the data to such an extent as to save the author fully a year's work; and to my wife for extended help in tabulating and checking the results.
Grateful acknowledgment is made of the permission to use some data formerly published in Part I of the Sixteenth Yearbook of the National Society for the Study of Education.

A Survey of the Social and Business Usage of Arithmetic (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles a thorough survey of the social and business usage of arithmetic. The author endeavors to determine the arithmetic actually used by mature people in their daily interactions, to form a foundation for school curriculum development. Rooted in a belief that arithmetic in schools is only justified on the basis of utility in common affairs, the study analyzes 14,583 arithmetic problems solved by adults in various occupations. The work reveals the arithmetic processes used, the degree of difficulty of such processes, and the subject matter involved, putting the emphasis on practical application rather than traditional content. The book adds to our understanding of how arithmetic is employed outside of formal educational settings and provides insights for shaping an effective school curriculum in the subject. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330223116_0
