Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Lessons in Numbers: In the Natural Order: First Visible Objects; Second, Concrete Numbers; Third, Abstract Numbers As its general plan is unlike other works designed for the same grade of learners, it is important that teachers and parents should make themselves familiar Avith its peculiar characteristics, before using it in classes or families. General Divisions. Sections. The book is divided into fifteen sections, the first one of which is devoted to lessons in counting; the next eight to examples and combinations in Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division; the next three to the fractional parts of numbers halves, thirds, and fourths; the thirteenth to miscellaneous problems, embracing all the classes of combinations in the preceding sections; the fourteenth section to tables of the denominations of money, weight and measures in common use; and the fifteenth to combinations embracing the tables of Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Division, Factors, and Aliquot or Fractional Parts. Articles. The division of the sections into articles indicates, in every case, either a new class of combinations, or a review of combinations already learned. For example. Section III, as its title states, teaches Addition and Subtraction, with the numbers 4, 5, 6, as one of the parts or terms. Article A contains combinations in Addition and Subtraction, with 4 as one of the parts or terms; Article B, with 5;and Article C, with 6, as one of the parts or terms. Articles Dand Eare reviews of all the combinations in the three preceding articles, the numbers leing concrete, and some of them perceptive; while the questions in Article Drequire the briefest form of answer. Tables of Money, Weight, and Measures. These tables, pages97-99, contain only the tables and denominations in common use. The stereotyped schoolmaster and school-book-maker arrangement has been discarded, and the denominations are here presented as they are used in business. Tables of Combinations. In Section XV these tables are arranged to be learned in the same order as they are developed in the previous sections.
