Arithmetical Essentials Vol 2 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Everyday Arithmetic, Vol. 2 Skill in the use of the essential processes is rightly demanded Of graduates of our elementary schools. To this end, the most care ful attention has been given to the organization of this series Of books, in order that the pupils may attain an automatic and accu rate use Of numbers. This has been done by following closely the action Of a child's mind in his approach to a new topic, by giving him the most economical way of performing each process, and by providing an abundance of practice in carefully graded exercises and reviews. To bring the work into close relation with actual conditions in life, the problems provided in these books have been based upon data taken from the everyday experiences of children. In the pre ceding book, the immediate interests of pupils were largely drawn upon as the basis for the various groups of problems. In this book, although many of these immediate interests are still appealed to, there is a reaching out to the larger interests of the community, corresponding to the expansion of a child's point of view. In the last book of the series, it will be found that the community problems predominate. By this means, it is hoped that a sense of reality will be given to the problems that will enlist the whole-hearted coopera tion Of pupils. Not only have the problems been taken directly from experience, but they have been grouped under large topics of vital interest to boys and girls. The authors believe that a mistake has been made in expecting pupils to jump rapidly from one situation to aunt's.
