Build confident math skills with a practical, stepwise approach.
This revised and enlarged edition of Elements of Arithmetic introduces lower and middle grade learners to numbers, counting, and the essential operations through a concrete, activity‑based format. It emphasizes understanding over memorization and uses real objects and oral work before moving to written methods, helping students grasp how numbers describe the world around them.
This book presents a clear, structured path from basic counting to fractions, decimals, and simple financial topics, with lots of examples and graded practice. It is designed to be a teacher’s aid as well as a student resource, aligning with a practical view of arithmetic as a tool for everyday problem solving.
- Oral and written work built around concrete problems and real-world contexts
- Stepwise progression from basic numbers to more advanced topics like fractions and decimals
- Graded exercises and problems to reinforce understanding and fluency
- Updated content reflecting expanded coverage, including new topics and revised explanations
Ideal for students beginning their study of arithmetic and for teachers seeking a structured, proven approach to building number sense and computational skill in early grades.
