Books on the pedagogy of arithmetic which have contributed to improvement in methods of teaching this subject may be divided into three classes. Some seek to give a general survey of the aims and methods of teaching arithmetic, concerning themselves with no details in any specific topic, and leaving it to each teacher to apply the general method to the specific problems of his grade work. Other books give the philosophy and psychology of mathematics in the hope that a clearer comprehension of the basic concepts of arithmetic by the teacher will inevitably lead to more effective methods of instruction. The third group of books devotes itself merely to the task of giving remedial devices to meet specific teaching difficulties. General methods of teaching any subject may set forth ideals of instruction without regard to possibility of attainment. Specific devices tend to establish stereotyped forms to be followed slavishly without a comprehension of the basic principles. The writer has sought to evolve a book that is eclectic in aim. The early chapters study critically the values of arithmetic, the princfples governing the organization of the course of study, and the psychology underlying sound method in arithmetic. The later chapters set forth methods rather than the method of teaching each of the important branches of arithmetic.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the teaching of arithmetic as an elementary school subject. The author begins by highlighting the importance of understanding the purpose of teaching arithmetic. Are we teaching the subject to support students' everyday lives or to cultivate a specific thought process? Beyond its practical applications, the author argues that arithmetic can provide a deeper understanding of lifeâs quantitative aspects and foster problem-solving, concentration, and abstraction in mathematical and non-mathematical situations. The author emphasizes the need to balance practical, disciplinary, and cultural values when determining content selection and instructional design. Eliminating unnecessary topics (e.g., complex fractions and uncommon denominations) will allow teachers to focus on essential knowledge and skills that translate to everyday life.
