Accuracy and rapidity in adding can be acquired only by practice. The following exercises are designed to secure this important object. Obs. 1. In solving the following examples, it is recommended to the pupil simply to pronounce the result, as he adds each successive figure. Thus, in Ex. 1, instead of saying 2 and 2 are 4, and 2 are 6, &c., proceed in the following manner: "two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve, fourteen, sixteen, eighteen, twenty." Set down naught and carry two. 'Two, (to carry) three, six, nine," &c. 2. When two or three figures taken together make 10, as 8 and 2, 7 and 3, or 2, 3, and 5, it accelerates the process to add their sum at once. Thus, in Ex. 4, the pupil should say: "ten (1+9), sixteen (6), twenty-six (5+5), thirty-six (2+8)," &c. |
