NEW PRIMARYINIA ARITHMETIC BY JOHN H. WALSH ASSOCIATE SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, THE CITY BOSTON, U.S.A. INTRODUCTION.. THE NEW PRIMARY ARITHMETIC is designed for the use of pupils of the second, third, and fourth school years, the first chapter covering the ground to be completed by the end of the second year, and each of the remaining chapters furnishing a half-year's work. In the distribution of the subject-matter, care has been taken to combine the best features of the spiral and the topical arrangement, and to adapt the work at every stage to the growing powers of the pupil. A large quantity of material for drill is provided under each subdivision before a new one is taken up, while carefully graded reviews are continued throughout. Especial attention has been given to the grading and the char acter of the problems. They deal with numbers smaller than those used in the corresponding abstract work; the conditions are limited to such as are within the experience or the comprehension of the average pupil; and the solution of those in the earlier chapters involves but a single operation. 541535 |
