Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Arithmetic: For Use in the Public and Model Schools of Ontario Probably no subject of study in our schools is of more educational value than Arithmetic. More than any other it requires the student to form an accurate idea as to the magnitude of a quantity; to conceive the exact relation between the magnitudes of two quantities; by comparing two relations among three quantities, to obtain the necessary third relation by an act of the mind; and, finally, by repeating these processes under varying conditions, to bring a number of seemingly disconnected facts into relations, all tending towards a certain desired end. This on a small scale is just what the pupil must do on a large scale when he enters in earnest upon the practical affairs of life. The failure of Arithmetic, if there he any, to secure this object is due to no fault of the subject itself, but to causes which may be easily removed. (a) Too much time is spent in trying to teach "number analysis and synthesis" to young pupils, whose minds have not sufficiently matured to form the "concept" for which the symbol o stands. It may even be doubted that this concept ever is formed, that the pure number 13 is anything but a mere word or symbol, and that operations upon pure numbers are anything more than mere combinations of names, of symbols, or of sounds.
