The Teaching of Primary Arithmetic: A Critical Study of Recent Tendencies in Method (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
How arithmetic is taught in the early grades matters as much as what is taught.
This book analyzes the main trends in primary arithmetic instruction, focusing on how teachers present concepts to young learners and why those methods matter for understanding and mastery.
Two clear sections frame its value: it traces how teaching methods shifted from direct drill to more developmental, student‑centered approaches, and it explains why rationalization or habituation should be used thoughtfully. It also explores the aims guiding arithmetic teaching, from traditional discipline to broader educational and social aims, and shows how these shifts affect classroom practice.- How methods of presenting arithmetic have evolved toward more inductive, student‑driven learning.
- Four practical principles for deciding when to rationalize a procedure and when to rely on habituation.
- How object teaching, concrete materials, and real problems shape understanding and retention.
- Ways to balance accuracy, speed, and thinking in problem solving for young learners.
