Common Sense Arithmetic For Common Schools PDF Download

Excerpt from Common-Sense Arithmetic for Common Schools, Vol. 1 The first step is to teach the numbers one to ten. With their names and the figures representing them to count ten. All counting should be done with objects which the children may at least see, and, if possible, hold in their hands, the eye is aided by the hand, for what one counts with his hand, he must see. There must be no senseless repetition of one, two, three, etc. A variety of objects should be used; they may be any with which the children are familiar; as, sticks, pegs, marbles, cubes, books, apples, gun-wads, toy-money, the balls on a numeral frame, marks on the blackboard, the common measures of length and capacity, etc. The most useful objects are blocks one inch square and one inch by two inches, one half inch thick. With these a great variety of combinations may be made to show compositions, additions, subtractions, multiplications, etc. They may be found at any Kindergarten supply store.
