Synopsis

This book presents a wide-ranging collection of practical arithmetic problems in a clear and engaging manner. Historically, arithmetic, and more particularly practical arithmetic, was one of the most important subjects taught. It was not unusual for arithmetic books to contain thousands of problems. This book aims to provide numerous problems within a convenient portable book. The author emphasises subjects frequently omitted by other books but indispensable to education. This book does not only concentrate on the rules of arithmetic but seeks to show the student how to apply those rules to everyday situations as well as to more abstract problems. The book is an excellent resource for teachers and students alike. It can be used as a supplement to traditional textbooks or as a standalone resource. The problems are graded in difficulty, so students can start with the easier problems and work their way up to the more challenging ones. The book also includes a variety of problems that require students to think critically and creatively.
