Synopsis

A Complete Arithmetic: With Oral and Written Exercises presents a practical, life‑focused course in arithmetic. The text aims to build clear number sense and confident problem‑solving for everyday use, not just theory.


Structured to support both oral and written work, it progresses from basic numeration and notation to fundamental operations, fractions, decimals, measures, and key applications like percentage and interest. The edition emphasizes illustrations, procedures, and principles over lengthy rules, helping readers become independent thinkers who can apply arithmetic to real tasks.



  • Foundational topics: numeration, notation, and place value in the Arabic system.

  • Core operations and problem solving using practical methods.

  • Progressions through fractions, decimals, measures, and percentage for real‑world use.

  • Applications to everyday life, business forms, and financial calculations.


Ideal for students building arithmetic skills and for educators seeking a clear, usable approach to teaching math in a practical context.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The object of this work is to give a complete course in all those portions of Arithmetic which are required for the actual business of life, and at the same time to furnish the pupil with a clear and comprehensive knowledge of the science of numbers. The principles, therefore, that have been followed in the preparation of this work are embodied in the following questions :1st, What are the actual demands of practical life f2d, Whai does a logical development of the subject require fI nthe application of these principles it has been found necessary to omit some subjects usually found in A rithmetics; to greatly abridge and simplify the discussion of Denominate Numbers, Percentage, Proportion, etc.; and to place a number of other topics of local application, or of minor importance to the majority of pupils of the public schools of A merica, in aS upplement. A nother object which has been kept constantly in view through the entire work is the development of thoughU power to make thinkers rather than imitators. Greater importance is therefore attached to iU ustrations, processeS yand principles than to abstract definitions, long solutions, and unnecessary rules. GEO. W. HULL.
