About this title

Synopsis

The book ""The Psychology of Number and Its Applications to Methods of Teaching Arithmetic"" by James A. McLellan is a comprehensive guide to understanding the psychological principles behind the learning and teaching of arithmetic. The author explores the cognitive processes involved in the comprehension and manipulation of numbers, as well as the factors that influence the effectiveness of various teaching methods. The book is divided into three main sections. The first section provides an overview of the psychological foundations of arithmetic, including the development of numerical concepts in children and the role of memory and attention in numerical processing. The second section focuses on the practical applications of these principles to teaching arithmetic, with a particular emphasis on the use of visual aids and manipulatives to enhance understanding. The third section delves into more advanced topics, such as the use of technology in teaching arithmetic and the role of motivation and self-regulation in learning. Overall, ""The Psychology of Number and Its Applications to Methods of Teaching Arithmetic"" is an essential resource for educators and researchers who seek to understand the psychological underpinnings of arithmetic education and to develop effective teaching strategies based on this knowledge.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
