They suggest strategies, activities and examples to help develop readers understanding and confidence…

This study was undertaken in order to better understand prospective elementary school teachers' motivations for working with fractions before and after taking a course designed to deepen their understanding of mathematics, as well as what instructional practices might be related to any changes detected in their motivations. Eighty-five education…

The textbook is intended for students who know the number from one to ten. The purpose of the textbook is to conform numbers in their facts and principles to the usual processes and powers and interests of children's minds. The graded reader has opened the way for the graded arithmetic. Grading all books is part and parcel of the new education,…

The purpose of this book is twofold: to supply the teacher with material for class instruction; and to provide a text-book for children to study as soon as they know how to read. The course herein begins with the number ten and proceeds by hundreds and thousands to one million, teaches the elementary facts of fractions and parts of numbers,…

This textbook is third in a series of arithmetic books that apply the principles discovered by the psychology of learning, by experimental education, and by the observation of successful school practice, to the teaching of arithmetic. The general course, which ends on page 241, is followed by exercises in understanding and using tables and an…

This textbook aims to develop the main thoughts in elementary mathematics in such a way as to show the relation of its various subjects and thereby trace their relation to each other. The book also attempts to present the principles of physics in a simple and orderly fashion so that the reader may get clear and accurate ideas concerning mechanics,…

This textbook is part of a series designed to give an elementary school child all the arithmetical power necessary to cope with the situations of common everyday life. This book covers fundamental elements of arithmetical manipulation and thought. Thus, a child who goes no farther than the fourth or fifth grade will be so familiar with essentials…

This textbook's goal is to train and develop the mind by means of the science of numbers. This work is designed both for primary and advanced classes. The first part is adapted to beginners, while the latter part is peculiarly fitted to give to the more advanced student that thorough mental drilling in the analysis of numbers, which furnishes the…
