Synopsis
This book aims to make the learning of numbers and basic arithmetic engaging and accessible for young students. The author, believing that children learn best through hands-on experience, encourages teachers to use physical objects such as counters and blocks to illustrate concepts. The book is packed with colourful illustrations and a variety of exercises designed to keep young minds active and engaged. The book's approach to teaching addition and subtraction as converse operations was innovative for its time. This method, which emphasizes the relationship between these two operations, is still widely used in modern classrooms. The book also includes numerous drill exercises, designed to build fluency and mastery of basic mathematical combinations, a common practice in the pedagogy of that era. The book's focus on tangible objects and its emphasis on visual learning reflects the prevailing educational philosophy of the time, which favored concrete methods over abstract ones. This book is a valuable resource for understanding the historical evolution of mathematics education and provides insight into the methods and materials used to teach children basic arithmetic in the past.
