Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Simple Rules in Arithmetic: For Use in the Junior Classes of the Public Schools
The object of this book is to furnish pupils with such tables, exercises, and examples in the simple Rules as will enable them to attain to the highest degree of accuracy and rapidity in the shortest time possible, and with the best mental results The study of the simple Rules should always be made an ex croise of the mind and not a merely mechanical process. A great deal of what is termed rote learning in arithmetic has been owing to the improper construction of the arithmetical tables, and the want of variety in the 'orders in which it is possible to recite them. The tables in this book can be recited in so many orders that it is almost impossible for pupils to acquire any bad habits while learning them. They are not a haphazard jumbleng of figures, but are written on a thoroughly scientific principle throughout. They contain the possible variations of the digits taking two at a time. They cannot be improved upon, and therefore as a system methodically considered they are absolutely perfect. There are three important steps in the study of addition, and these should be practised in the order given.
