Combined Number And Language Lessons PDF Download

Excerpt from Combined Number and Language Lessons: Containing Eight Hundred Oral and Written Lessons Years of careful observation have convinced the author that very few pupils, even in the better class of schools, learn to add and subtract readily and accurately. The method of teaching several processes at the same time is largely responsible for this imperfect manner in which the pupils calculate. When their attention is changed so frequently from one process to another, nothing is clearly fixed in the mind. Only forty-five combinations, of two figures each, can be made with the nine digits. Therefore these combinations can and should be so thoroughly learned, that the sum of any two numbers in column will be known at sight, as the words dog, cow, etc., are read, with no thought of the letters composing them. After one has learned to count and write the nine digits, the easiest number work is to learn the sum of two numbers. Addition should be learned first, for the reason that it is required in all other processes. It is the object of the following lessons to show how addition should be taught, both for the purpose of saving the time of the learner, and that there shall be no hesitation or doubt about the sum of any two numbers.
