Synopsis
This book re-examines and analyzes how arithmetic should be taught in elementary schools. It focuses on the need to shift the emphasis from mere number manipulation to the discernment of quantitative relationships. The book includes suggestions for enriching the curriculum, while also suggesting the omission of certain complex concepts that are often prematurely introduced. The author discusses the importance of teaching number facts and measurement in the early stages, and provides a detailed plan for the introduction of these concepts. The book also includes a discussion of the use of concrete materials, mental calculation, and the double aspect of division as pedagogical tools. Overall, this book presents a compelling argument for a more thoughtful and engaging approach to elementary arithmetic education, one that emphasizes the development of mathematical thinking and problem-solving skills.
