Preston Stevens Elementary Arithmetic Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Preston-Stevens Elementary Arithmetic Note to Teacher. The work in number for the first year or two can be most satisfactorily presented by the use of objects, oral instruction, free use of the blackboard by teacher and pupils, simple stories and exercises in applied number, carefully planned busy work and directed motor activities, and by daily use of the drill cards, etc. The exercises, therefore, in this chapter are not intended to show the full work of the pupils, but are given as suggestions and as outlines, which are to be expanded by the teacher and the pupils into such fullness as the natural progress of the class may require. The exercises here outlined may also aid the teachers of the third year grades in reviewing the introductory work in number, and may help them to determine the class need for further instruo tion in any particular line. It is also hoped that the exercises of this chapter may prove helpful in aiding pupils, on entering school at an advanced age with considerable general knowledge of number, to pass rapidly over the introductory work and take up the regular exercises of the third year in a short time.
