About this Item

Print on Demand. This book, a treatise on elementary arithmetic and the first in a series of texts covering common school subjects, is designed for the instruction of children in the early years of formal education. The approach pairs fundamental concepts in arithmetic with practical applications, with a sequence of examples and exercises intended to foster the acquisition of foundational skills in arithmetic. The authorâ s intent in devising this program is to avoid unnecessary operations that have been taught in the past and to emphasize the importance of understanding foundational concepts over memorization. The exercises aim to foster confidence and understanding over rote memorization, with the intent of preparing students for the study of more advanced mathematics in the years to come. Its focus on the development of computational proficiency by means of examples and exercises makes this book a valuable resource for early learners of mathematics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

About this title

Synopsis

Master basic arithmetic with clear, practical practice.

This classic guide teaches essential numeration and simple calculations through a steady sequence of exercises, real-world problems, and concise explanations. It focuses on building fluency with numbers, operations, fractions, decimals, and money in everyday contexts.

Geared toward self-study and classroom use, the edition emphasizes concrete problem solving over unnecessary steps. Readers develop a solid foundation in elementary math and gain confidence handling common calculations—money, measures, and standard arithmetic operations—through guided practice and cumulative reviews.

• Structured sections covering elementary results, fundamental processes, fractions, decimals, denominate numbers, and percentage
• Exercises that progress from quick oral tasks to written problems with worked examples
• Applications to real-life situations like United States money, weight, measures, and time

Ideal for students beginning algebra preparation and anyone seeking a thorough, old‑fashioned arithmetic refresher.
