Reseña del editor

Excerpt from Primary Number: Through Constructive Measuring, a Manual for Teachers

Masters and teachers alike have expressed a wish to have the work continued, with an earnest request for a manual which can be placed in the hands of the teachers as a guide. The one naturally and logically to undertake this work was Miss Bigelow, a teacher of wide experience, who has herself taught a class of children by this plan throughout the three years, and who has been at the same time the able and inspiring leader in the experiment.

This little book has been prepared in response to the above request, with the hope that it may be useful to those who by their cordial cooperation have made it possible, and also to those who may wish to try the work for the first time.

Excerpt from Primary Number: Through Constructive Measuring, a Manual for Teachers

This manual is the outgrowth of an experiment in methods of teaching arithmetic in the primary grades which has been conducted during the past three years, under the supervision of the teacher of mathematics in the Normal School, in seven school districts in Boston; namely, the Bowditch, Everett, Lyman, Martin, Mather, Prescott, and Rice districts.

The plan followed successfully in the Training School in Willimantic, Connecticut, under the direction of Miss Sarah J. Walter, formerly Teacher of Methods in the Willimantic Normal School, was adopted as the basis for the work, and modifications made to suit the conditions presented by the city schools.

A general outline of the work was placed in the hands of the teachers, and frequent conferences held, at which the purposes, methods, practical difficulties, etc., were discussed. Notwithstanding delays in securing working material, and other difficulties which have proved a handicap to progress, all interested in the experiment have expressed satisfaction with the results, and confidence in the plan of work.
