PRINCIPAL OF PUBLIC SCHOOL 62, MANHATTAN New York THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1911 All rights reserved THE PUPILS' ARITHMETIC is an effort to meet current criticism of methods and results in the teaching of elementary arithmetic. The manner in which the authors plan to regain for our schools that mechanical skill in computation which characterized an older time, while retaining what is valuable in modern theory and practice, is aptly epitomized in the title, - THE PUPILS' ARITHMETIC. Part One covers the work of the first three years of school; Part Two, the work of the fourth year. The authors have made prominent the following features: I. A large number of exercises in pure arithmetic, affording abundant practice in the mechanical operations. II. A large number of problems in applied arithmetic, affording practice in gleaning thought from the printed page and in applying the arithmetical principles previously learned. |
