EXPLANATION These Tables are designed for a brief exercise at the beginning or close of the daily recitation, and should be dwelt upon until the pupil is familiar with the various combinations. Let the pupil recite the table assigned to him, as the signs indicate; thus, in No. 1, 4 and 3 are 7, 5 and 6 are 11, etc.; in No. 16, 13 less 4 are 9, eto; in No. 81, 6 times 8 are 48, etc.; in No. 46, 4 in 36, 9 times, etc.

The tables may be profitably used in many ways. The columns may be added upward or downward, or substituting + for, X, and÷,. add across the page. Substituting for, the table for division becomes a table for subtraction. By dividing the dividend of one example by the divisor of another, mixed numbers may be obtained; thus, in Nos. 46 and 47, say 4 in 25, 5 in 36, 7 in 48, etc.
