Sinopsis

Excerpt from Arithmetic: Methods and Reviews

This manual has been written especially to meet the needs of normal students. Incidentally it may be found useful to other students and teachers. Besides methods, it presents reviews of subject matter. While the teacher who has not had methods is greatly handicapped, the theory of teaching is of little value to one who has not mastered the thing to be taught.

The letters of Mrs. Hornbrook are specifically for the student teachers of the Training School. The first sets forth the general scheme of her work and gives a number of illustrative exercises and games. The second gives a gen eral outline of the course, which will be fully amplified in the supervisor's meetings from week to week.

The chapter on drills gives suggestive exercises intended to help the busy teacher and to keep the pupil occupied in what will interest him and cause him to know.

The chapter on course gives a skeleton outline for work beginning with the fifth year. It is tentative, suggesting an order of sequence.

A large percentage of normal students have had no arithmetic since leav ing the grammar grades, hence their knowledge of the subject is quite limited and their work more or less mechanical. They need a firmer grasp of the subject matter and the feeling of security which comes with conscious mastery. The chapter on reviews is designed to supply these needs. The arrangement is strictly topical. While there are many simple exercises and problems the work is in general too difficult for grammar grade pupils. The teacher, how ever, should know more than she is expected to teach. The many model solu tions are intended to furnish good forms, which is important, and incidentally to illustrate the best ways of doing the work.
