About this title

Synopsis

Master the foundations of number with clear, student-friendly guidance. This edition explains how arithmetic fits into a broader view of thinking, showing how numbers arise from mental analysis and help organize our experience.

In plain terms, the book contrasts the idea of number with that of form, and explains why counting, operations, and notation matter for real understanding. It uses a steady, practical approach to help primary learners build solid, transferable math habits, starting from the nature of numbers and moving toward everyday calculations.

- Accessible definition of number and its role in thinking
- The analytic-synthetic approach to arithmetic operations
- Step-by-step exercises using real-world problems and base-ten ideas
- Clear explanations of notation and how to apply them in practice

Ideal for teachers planning foundational number work, and for readers seeking a structured, classroom-ready introduction to early arithmetic concepts.
