The First Lessons In Numbers PDF Download

Excerpt from First Lessons in Numbers: Oral and Written The First Lessons in Numbers has been prepared in the belief that the objective presentation of numbers is best suited to the comprehension of the child. The teacher who uses this book is expected to make constant use of counters, blocks, or other visible objects, that from the outset the child may have correct ideas of numbers. The copious illustrations found throughout the book are intended as aids in this direction. The development of numbers and the unfolding of processes are very simple and gradual, to correspond to the powers and growth of the child's mind. Addition and Subtraction are presented as converse operations, and are to be taught together, as are also Multiplication and Division. Experience has shown that this method secures the best results in the shortest time. From the beginning oral and slate exercises are combined, the little learner being given something to employ his hands as well as his mind. The large number and variety of written exercises will be appreciated by teachers as relieving them from the necessity of furnishing much blackboard work.
