MANUAL FOR TEACHEES
INTRODUCTORY
Plan and Scope of the Work, — In addition to the subjects generally included in the ordinary text-books in arithmetic, Mathematics for Common /Schools contains such simple work in algebraic equations and constructive geometry as can be studied to advantage by pupils of the elementary schools.
The arithmetical portion is divided into thirteen chapters, each of which, except the first, contains the work of a term of five months. The following extracts from the table of contents will show the arrangement of topics :
FIRST AND SECOND YEARS
Chapter I, — Numbers of Three Figures. Addition and Sub- traction.
THIRD YEAR
Chapters II, and III, — Numbers of Five Figures. Multipli- ers and Divisors of One Figure. Addition and Subtraction of Halves, of Fourths, of Thirds. Multiplication by Mixed Num- bers. Pint, Quart, and Gallon ; Ounce and Pound. Roman Notation.
1
2 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
FOURTH YEAR
Chapters IV, and V, — Numbers of Six Figures. Multipliers and Divisors of Two or More Figures. Addition and Subtraction of Easy Fractions. Multiplication by Mixed Numbers. Simple Denominate Numbers. Roman Notation.
FIFTH YEAR
Chapters VI, and VII. — Fractions. Decimals of Three Places. Bills. Denominate Numbers. Simple Measurements.
SIXTH YEAR
Chapters VIII, and IX, — Decimals. Bills. Denominate Num- bers. Surfaces and Volumes. Percentage and Interest.
SEVENTH YEAR
Chapters XI, and XII, — Percentage and Interest. Commercial and Bank Discount. Cause and Effect. Partnership. Bonds and Stocks. Exchange. Longitude and Time. Surfaces and Volumes.
EIGHTH YEAR
Chapters XIII, and XIV, — Partial Payments. Equation of Payments. Annual Interest. Metric System. Evolution and Involution. Surfaces and Volumes.
INTRODUCTORY 3
While all of the above topics are generally included in an eight years' course, it may be considered advisable to omit some of them, and to take up, instead, during the seventh and eighth years, the constructive geometry work of Chapter XVI. Among the topics that may be dropped without injury to the pupil are Bonds and Stocks, Exchange, Partial Payments, and Equation of Payments.
Grammar School Algebra, — Chapter X., consisting of a dozen pages, is devoted to the subject of easy equations of one unknown quantity, as a preliminary to the employment of the equation in so much of the subsequent work in arithmetic as is rendered more simple by this mode of treatment. To teachers desirous of dispensing with rules, sample solutions of type examples, etc., the algebraic method of solving the so-called " problems " in per- centage, interest, discount, etc., is strongly recommended.
In Chapter XV., intended chiefly for schools having a nine years' course, the algebraic work is extended to cover simple equations containing two or more unknown quantities, and pure and affected quadratic equations of one unknown quantity.
No attempt has been made in these two chapters to treat algebra as a science ; the aim has been to make grammar-school pupils acquainted, to some slight extent, with the great instru- ment of mathematical investigation, — the equation.
Constructive Geometry, — Progressive teachers will appreciate the importance of supplementing the concrete geometrical instruction now given in the drawing and mensuration work. Chapter XVI. contains a series of problems in construction so arranged as to enable pupils to obtain for themselves a working knowledge of all the most important facts of geometry. Applications of the facts thus ascertained, are made to the mensuration of surfaces and volumes, the calculation of heights and distances, etc. No attempt is made to anticipate the work of the high-school by teaching geometry as a science.
4 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
While the construction problems are brought together into a single chapter at the end of the book, it is not intended that instruction in geometry should be delayed until the preceding work is completed. Chapter XVI. should be commenced not later than the seventh year, and should be continued throughout the remainder of the grammar-school course. For the earlier years, suitable exercises in the mensuration of the surfaces of triangles and quadrilaterals, and of the volumes of right parallelopipedons have been incorporated with the arithmetic work.

GENERAL HINTS
Division of the Work, — The five chapters constituting Part I. of Mathematics for Common Schools should be completed by the end of the fourth school year. The remaining eight arithmetic chapters constitute half-yearly divisions for the second four years of school. Chapter I., with the additional oral work needed in the case of young pupils, will occupy about two years ; the re- maining four chapters should not take more than half a year each. When the Grube system is used, and the work of the first two years is exclusively oral, it will be possible, by omitting much of the easier portions of the first two chapters, to cover, during the third year, the ground contained in Chapters I., II., and III.
Additions and Omissions, — The teacher should freely supple- ment the work of the text-book when she finds it necessary to do so ; and she should not hesitate to leave a topic that her pupils fully understand, even though they may not have worked all the examples given in connection therewith. A very large number of exercises is necessary for such pupils as can devote a half-year to the study of the matter furnished in each chapter. In the case of pupils of greater maturity, it will be possible to make more rapid progress by passing to the next topic as soon as the
previous work is fairly well understood.
•
Oral and Written Work, — The heading "Slate Problems" is merely a general direction, and it should be disregarded by the teacher when the pupils are able to do the work " mentally." The use of the pencil should be demanded only so far as it may
5
6 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
be required. It is a pedagogical mistake to insist that all of the pupils of a class should set down a number of figures that are not needed by the brighter ones. As an occasional exercise, it may be advisable to have scholars give all the work required to solve a problem, and to make a written explanation of each step in the solution ; but it should be the teacher's aim to have the majority of the examples done with as great rapidity as is con- sistent with absolute correctness. It will be found that, as a rule, the quickest workers are the most accurate.
Many of the slate problems can be treated by some classes as " sight " examples, each pupil reading the question for himself from the book, and writing the answer at a given signal without putting down any of the work.
Use of Books. — It is generally recommended that books be placed in pupils' hands as early as the third school year. Since many children are unable at this stage to read with sufficient intelligence to understand the terms of a problem, this work should be done under the teacher's direction, the latter reading the questions while the pupils follow from their books. In later years, the problems should be solved by the pupils from the books with practically no assistance whatever from the teacher.
Conduct of the Eecitation, — Many thoughtful educators consider it advisable to divide an arithmetic class into two sections, for some purposes, even where its members are nearly equal in attainments. The members of one division of such a class may work examples from their books while the others write the answers to oral problems given by the teacher, etc.
Where a class is thus taught in two divisions, the members of each should sit in alternate rows, extending from the front of the room to the rear. Seated in this way, a pupil is doing a different kind of work from those on the right and the left, and he would not have the temptation of a neighbor's slate to lead him to compare answers.
GENERAL H
As an economy of time, explanations of new subjects might be given to the whole class; but much of the arithmetic work should be done in "sections," one of which is under the im- mediate direction of the teacher, the other being employed in "seat" work. In the case of pupils of the more advanced classes, "seat" work should consist largely of "problems" solved without assistance. Especial pains have been taken to so grade the problems as to have none beyond the capacity of the average pupil that is willing to try to understand its terms. It is not necessary that all the members of a division should work the same problems at a given time, nor the same number of prob- lems, nor that a new topic should be postponed until all of the previous problems have been solved.
Whenever it is possible, all of the members of the division working under the teacher's immediate direction should take part in all the work done. In mental arithmetic, for instance, while only a few may be called upon for explanations, all of the pupils should write the answers to each question. The same is true of much of the sight work, the approximations, some of the special drills, etc.
Drills and Sight Work. — To secure reasonable rapidity, it is necessary to have regular systematic drills. They should be employed daily, if possible, in the earlier years, but should never last longer than five or ten minutes. Various kinds are sug- gested, such as sight addition drills, in Arts. 3, 11, 24, 26, etc. ; subtraction, in Arts. 19, 50, 53, etc. ; multiplication, in Arts. 71, 109, etc. ; division, in Arts. 199, 202, etc. ; counting by 2's, 3's, etc., in Art. 61 ; carrying, in Art. 53, etc. For the young pupil, those are the most valuable in which the figures are in his sight, and in the position they occupy in an example ; see Arts. 3, 34, 164, etc.
Many teachers prepare cards, each of which contains one of the combinations taught in their respective grades. Showing one of these cards, the teacher requires an immediate answer
8 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
from a pupil. If his reply is correct, a new card is shown to the next pupil, and so on. Other teachers write a number of combinations on the blackboard, and point to them at random, requiring prompt answers. When drills remain on the board for any considerable time, some children learn to know the results of a combination by its location on the board, so that frequent changes in the arrangement of the drills are, therefore, advisable. The drills in Arts. Ill, 112, and 115 furnish a great deal of work with the occasional change of a single figure.
For the higher classes, each chapter contains appropriate drills, which are subsequently used in oral problems. It happens only too frequently that as children go forward in school they lose much of the readiness ia oral and written work they possessed in the lower grades, owing to the neglect of their teachers to continue to require quick, accurate review work in the operations previously taught. These special drills follow the plan of the combinations of the earlier chapters, but gradu- ally grow more difficult. They should first be used as sight exercises, either from the books or from the blackboard.
To secure valuable results from drill exercises, the utmost possible promptness in answers should be insisted upon.
Definitions, Principles, and Eulee, — Young children should not memorize rules or definitions. They should learn to add by adding, after being first shown by the teacher how to perform the operation.' Those not previously taught by the Grube method should be given no reason for " carrying." In teaching such children to write numbers of two or three figures, there is nothing gained by discussing the local value of the digits. Dur- ing the earlier years, instruction in the art of arithmetic should be given with the least possible amount of science. While prin- ciples may be incidentally brought to the view of the children at times, there should be no cross-examination thereon. It may be shown, for instance, that subtraction is the reverse of addition, and that multiplication is a short method of combining equal
GENERAL HINTS 9
numbers, etc. ; but care should be taken in the case of pupils below about the fifth school year not to dwell long on this side of the instruction. By that time, pupils should be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers ; to add and sab- tract simple mixed numbers, and to use a mixed number as a multiplier or a multiplicand ; to solve easy problems, with small numbers, involving the foregoing operations and others contain- ing the more commonly used denominate units. Whether or not they can explain the principles underlying the operations is of next to no importance, if they can do the work with reasonable accuracy and rapidity.
When decimal fractions are taken up, the principles of Arabic notation should be developed ; and about the same time, or some- what later, the principles upon which are founded the operations in the fundamental processes, can be briefly discussed.
Definitions should in all cases be made by the pupils, their mistakes being brought but by the teacher through appropriate questions, criticisms, etc. Systematic work under this head should be deferred until at least the seventh year.
The use of unnecessary rules in the higher grades is to be deprecated. When, for instance, a pupil understands that per cent means hundredths, that seven per cent means seven hun- dredths, it should not be necessary to tell him that 7 per cent of 143 is obtained by multiplying 143 by .07. It should be a fair assumption that his previous work in the multiplication of common and of' decimal fractions has enabled him to see that 7 per cent of 143 is yfo of 143 or 143 X .07, without information other than the meaning of the term " per cent."
When a pupil is able to calculate that 15 % of 120 is 18, he should be allowed to try to work out for himself, without a rule, the solution of this problem : 18 is what per cent of 120 ? or of this: 18 is 15% of what number? These questions should present no more difficulty in the seventh year than the following examples in the fifth : (a) Find the cost of ^ ton of hay at $12 per ton. (b) When hay is worth $12 per ton, what part of a
10 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
ton can be bought for $ 1.80 ? (c) If ^ ton of hay costs $1.80, what is the value of a ton ?
When, however, it becomes necessary to assist pupils in the solution of problems of this class, it is more profitable to furnish them with a general method by the use of the equation, than with any special plan suited only to the type under immediate discussion.
In the supplement to the Manual will be found the usual defini- tions, principles, and rules, for the teacher to use in such a way as her experience shows to be best for her pupils. The rules given are based somewhat on the older methods, rather than on those recommended by the author. He would prefer to omit entirely those relating to percentage, interest, and the like as being unnecessary, but that they are called for by many success- ful teachers, who prefer to continue the use of methods which they have found to produce satisfactory results.
Language. — While the use of correct language should be insisted upon in all lessons, children should not be required in arithmetic to give all answers in " complete sentences." Espe- cially in the drills, it is important that the results be expressed in the fewest possible words.
Analyses, — Sparing use of analyses is recommended for begin- ners. If a pupil solves a problem correctly, the natural inference should be that his method is correct, even if he be unable to state it in words. When a pupil gives the analysis of a problem, he should be permitted to express himself in his own way. Set forms should not be used under any circumstances.
Objective Illustrations, — The chief reason for the use of objects in the study of arithmetic is to enable pupils to work without them. While counters, weights and measures, diagrams, or the like are necessary at the beginning of some topics, it is important to discontinue their use as soon as the scholar is able to proceed without their aid.
GENERAL HINTS 11
Approximate Answers, — An important drill is furnished in the "approximations." (See Arts. 521, 669, 719, etc.) Pupils should be required in much of their written work to estimate the result before beginning to solve a problem with the pencil. Besides preventing an absurd answer, this practice will also have the effect of causing a pupil to see what processes are necessary. In too many instances, work is commenced upon a problem before the conditions are grasped by the youthful scholar ; which will be less likely to occur in the case of one who has carefully " estimated " the answer. The pupil will frequently find, also, that he can obtain the correct result without using his pencil at all.
Indicating Operations, — It is a good practice to require pupils to indicate by signs all of the processes necessary to the solution of a problem, before performing any of the operations. This fre- quently enables a scholar to shorten his work by cancellation, etc. In the case of problems whose solution requires tedious processes, some teachers do not require their pupils to do more than to indicate the operations. It is to be feared that much of the lack of facility in adding, multiplying, etc., found in the pupils of the higher classes is due to this desire to make work pleasant. Instead of becoming more expert in the fundamental operations, scholars in their eighth year frequently add, subtract, multiply, and divide more slowly and less accurately than in their fourth year of school.
Paper vs. Slates, — To the use of slates may be traced very much of the poor work now done in arithmetic. A child that finds the sum of two or more numbers by drawing on his slate the number of strokes represented by each, and then counting the total, will have to adopt some other method if his work is done on material that does not permit the easy obliteration of the tell-tale marks. When the teacher has an opportunity to see the number of attempts made by some of her pupils to obtain the correct quo-
12 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
tient figures in a long division example, she may realize the importance of such drills as will enable them to arrive more readily at the correct result.
The unnecessary work now done by many pupils will be very much lessened if they find themselves compelled to dispense with the "rubbing out" they have an opportunity to indulge in when slates are employed. The additional expense caused by the introduction of paper will almost inevitably lead to better results in arithmetic. The arrangement of the work will be looked after ; pupils will not be required, nor will they be permitted, to waste material in writing out the operations that can be per- formed mentally ; the least common denominator will be deter- mined by inspection ; problems will be shortened by the greater use of cancellation, etc., etc. Better writing of figures and neater arrangement of problems will be likely to accompany the use of material that will be kept by the teacher for the inspection of the school authorities. The endless writing of tables and the long, tedious examples now given to keep troublesome pupils from bothering a teacher that wishes to write up her records, will, to some extent, be discontinued when slates are nr longer -jsed.

EARLY ARITHMETIC TEACHING
Counting, — While the majority of children are able, upon enter- ing school, to repeat the names of the first ten or more numbers, they are not always able to count things. The first duty of the teacher is to secure correct notions of the first nine numbers, and this can best be done by the employment of objects, such as beans, splints, shoe-pegs, blocks, etc. A numeral frame is very useful for this purpose.
In counting, it is very important to have the child understand that the second splint is not two splints. This may be made clear to a child by having him put on his desk one bean, then near it two beans, three beans in another place, etc. After the pupil can count understandingly to nine, he should be taught the figures. The notation and numeration of numbers of two or more figures will be discussed in later chapters.
Primary Arithmetic, — After children have learned to count readily, experts disagree as to the best method of procedure. Many excellent teachers believe that work should be commenced at once upon numeration and notation, followed by the funda- mental operations in the usual order. Some of the advocates of this method favor the completion of each topic before proceeding to the next ; that is, numeration and notation are taught at least to billions ; then addition is taken up, beginning with small num- bers and gradually increasing to examples containing numbers of eight or nine figures. Subtraction, multiplication, and division are each studied to this extent before the next is commenced.
The more intelligent advocates of teaching operations at the
IS
14 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
outset, recognize the fact that it is neither necessary nor advisable to defer the addition of small numbers until children are able to write those of three or more periods, nor to postpone finding the sum of ^ and ^ until after the properties of numbers have been studied in the fifth school year. Their plan is to follow such simple examples in the addition of small numbers as involve no carrying, by corresponding ones in subtraction. More difficult examples in both of these operations come next, followed by sim- ple ones in multiplication and division. Easy work in fractions is introduced at an early stage, and problems involving the more common denominate units are brought in from time to time.
The Grnbe Method, — A growing number of educators believe that early arithmetical instruction should be based upon the study of numbers, rather than upon that of processes, — that the former should be the prominent feature of the early instruc- tion, and the latter incidental, at least for the first two years.
This method, called after its inventor, Grube, requires the teaching of all of the processes in the case of each number before proceeding to the next. Thus, when the number 4 is studied, the pupil measures it by all numbers smaller than itself. Using 4 beans, he measures by 1, by arranging them as follows : 0000. In this way he sees that 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4; that there are 4 ones in 4, or 1 X 4 = 4; that 4 — 1 — 1 — 1 = 1; that 4^1 = 4.
Measuring by 2, 00 00, he sees that 2 + 2 = 4, 2x2 = 4, 4-2=2, 4-^2 = 2.
Measuring by 3, 000 0, he sees that 3+1 = 4, 1 + 3 = 4; 4-3=1, 4-1 = 3; that (1 X 3) + 1 = 4, and that 4 -*- 3 = 1 and 1 over.
The pupil then answers questions given by the teacher, first using the counters and afterwards without them : —
Four is how many more than 3? Than 1? Than 2? Three is how many less than 4 ? Two is how many less ? One is how many less ?
EARLY ARITHMETIC TEACHING 15
How many ones in 4 ? How many twos ? Threes ? One-half of 4 is what ? Two is % of what number?
Problems containing the foregoing combinations are then given in great variety by the teacher until all of the facts about the number 4 in its relation with the smaller numbers are fully mastered.
In teaching any number, no larger number must appear in any way whatever. During the study of 4, it is not permissible to ask 4 twos, or that 4 is 1 less than what, etc., etc.
The work proceeds slowly and thoroughly, at least a year being devoted to the numbers below 10. The second year is given to the numbers from 10 to 20, and the third year to those from 20 to 100. This is probably as far as the method is carried in this country.
In the greater number of the schools using this method, systematic instruction in the fundamental processes is commenced by the beginning of the third year ; while in some, the Grube method is used for oral work, and the teaching of slate addition is carried on at the same time, even during the first year.
Slate Problems, — When, instead of receiving oral instruction for some time, children are taught processes from the outset, it frequently happens that many of them show little ability in solving problems. While some attention should be given in the early years to this side of arithmetic, it should not be permitted to retard too much the advancement of pupils. Many of them have to leave school soon, and they should be taught as rapidly as is consistent with real progress to perform accurately the ordinary operations in whole numbers, simple fractions, and decimals. Being familiar with these tools, greater maturity will, of itself, show which is to be used in such questions as are likely to come up in ordinary avocations.
The teacher should exercise much care to give only such problems as can readily be understood by the pupil, and which do not contain too many conditions or numbers that bewilder
16 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
the learner. While a beginner will have no difficulty in deter- mining whether to add or subtract in a mental problem suited to his capacity, the same kind of problem with larger figures will give him much difficulty. For this reason, the earlier slate problems should be the merest trifle beyond his ability to solve mentally. In his attempt to work them out in his head, he will determine whether addition or subtraction is needed, etc.
Problems in all grades should be "miscellaneous," and pupils should be allowed as far as possible to determine for themselves what operation is necessary to solve any given one.
IV
NOTES ON CHAPTER ONE
THE hints given as to the work of this chapter are intended chiefly for the guidance of teachers of young children that are beginning slate work in the fundamental processes without much preliminary oral instruction. Pupils that have been taught for two years by the Grube method should not be required to spend unnecessary time on the simpler portions of the work.
Art. 4. — In teaching notation of numbers of two figures to young children that have not been previously taught by the Grube method, it is not advisable to lay stress on the local value of the tens' figure. Show them how to read and write 10, 11, 12, etc., to 20; then 30, 40, 50, etc., to 90. After this, there is but little difficulty.
7. By working an example for the pupils, teach them to place under each column its sum. As their tendency is to begin work- ing at the left, be careful to see that they always commence to add at the right.
9. The problems will present no difficulty, as they involve only addition.
11. These sight exercises may first be employed as drills to teach children to use in blackboard addition as few words as possible. The first figure should not be named, — only the sum of the first and the second, then this total added to the third. In subsequent drills upon these combinations, each pupil should, in turn, give the sum of any set indicated by the teacher. The work should be done rapidly to be of value.
17
18 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
13. The making of original problems by the pupils should be a feature of every grade.
15 and 16. Subtraction is here introduced by the " building- up " method. Pupils find it easier to ascertain the. difference between two numbers by going forward from the smaller to the larger, than by " taking away " one from the other.
17 consists of sight exercises in the form of addition, leading to the subtraction exercises in Art. 19.
21. While in adding, the use of the word and is considered unnecessaiy ; in subtracting, it is used just before the figure that is to be written.
For some advantages obtained by employing the " building- up " method, see Art. 384, where it is used to obtain in one oper- ation the difference between 1000 and 643 + 287 -f 25. In Art. 385, it is used to find a remainder in long division without writ- ing the product of the divisor by the quotient.
23. Here begins the real problem work, as the pupil has now to determine for the first time in slate examples whether the result is to be reached by addition or subtraction. When the pupils are able to solve one of these problems without using the pencil, it should be repeated, but with such a change in one of the numbers as will render necessary the use of the slate. For the 10 cents in the first example, for instance, 14 cents or 24 cents may be substituted.
As many pupils attend rather to the numbers in a problem than to its terms, some may subtract when they should add, especially as this seems the natural operation when only two numbers are involved. It is important that they should be led to see that the size of the numbers does not change the nature of the example, and that they can easily determine whether addi- tion or subtraction is required, by considering what operation
NOTES ON CHAPTER ONE 19
they would employ in a similar example containing very small figures.
It is not advisable as a regular thing to follow an oral problem by a written one of exactly the same nature, as this tends to make children inattentive to the terms of the latter when they already know from the oral problem what operation is required.
28. It is inadvisable to waste time in endeavoring to make clear to very young children the reason for " carrying."
37. Teachers should require pupils to write the proper sign before working an example, as this tends to make them listen more carefully in order to determine whether addition or sub- traction is involved. In some problems that are too simple to need the use of the pencil, changes may be made in the numbers employed ; great care, however, should be taken not to use num- bers so large as to confuse the pupils.
38. Have children uriderstand that when a number contains the word " hundred," it should consist of three figures. Do not explain.
54. These exercises are intended to lead up to the subtraction with " borrowing " in the next article. Perhaps the following would be a better arrangement :
? ? ? ? ? ?
+ 29 +37 +17 +86 + 75 + 90 41 50 25 90 100 150
As children are generally taught to begin with the bottom figure in addition, they will naturally say in the first example, 9 and 2 are 11, writing the 2 in its place, etc.
55. Subtraction with " borrowing " is generally taught in one of three ways. The "building-up" method given in the text is the most readily taken hold of by young pupils.
20 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
** By the second method, the child is instructed that whenever he increases by ten any figure of the minuend,
g9 he must add 1 to the next figure of the subtrahend. Seeing that he cannot take 9 from 1, he says 9 from 11 leaves 2 ; 1 (to carry) and 2 are 3, 3 from 4 leaves 1.
While this method is just as logical as the next, it is not so easily " explained," and, for this reason, is not so much favored by many teachers of the present day.
The third method consists of diminishing the next left- sii hand figure of the minuend after " borrowing." Where the minuend contains ciphers, this method is particularly — confusing to beginners, especially where they are forbidden, as should be the case, to write the changes that are made in the figures of the minuend.
Except in the addition of long columns, children should be required from the beginning of slate work to abstain from count- ing, writing " carrying " figures, and the like. The guide fig- ures introduced into the foregoing explanations of methods of subtracting should not be used by pupils.
61. As a change from sight work, and to increase the pupils' readiness in the solution of mental examples, these drills are useful. Not requiring any preliminary writing on the board, they can be taken up at any time the class is unoccupied for a few minutes — waiting for the signal to go home, for example.
The pupils all stand ; the teacher announces the number to be added, 2 for instance, and begins by saying 1 herself. The first pupil says 3, then sits ; the next, 5 ; and so on. After 39, or some other convenient number, is reached, the teacher begins by saying 2, and the pupils, in order, give 4, 6, 8, etc., to 40.
The intelligent teacher will be careful to suit these drills to the capacity of her pupils. She will not weary beginners by spend- ing too much time on the more difficult drills with 7, 8, and 9 ; nor will she waste the time of older scholars by dwelling on the addition by twos.
NOTES ON CHAPTER ONE 21
The same kind of work may be employed as subtraction drills.
Subtract by twos :
40, 38, 36, etc.
39, 37, 35, etc.
By threes :
40, 37, 34, etc.
39, 36, 33, etc.
38, 35, 32, etc. By fours :
40, 36, 32, etc.
39, 35, 31, etc. 38, 34, 30, etc. 37, 33, 29, etc.

NOTES ON CHAPTER TWO
74. Slate multiplication is commenced as soon as the table of 2 times is learned. The first examples contain no carrying.
76. Division tables should not be memorized.
81. Do not permit children to prefix an unnecessary cipher in the quotient of 100^-2; that is, do not have the answer written 050.
84. Many scholars think that when a slate problem contains a very small number and a large one, they must either multiply or divide. Examples 1—4 are given with simple numbers to show them that the nature of the operation depends entirely upon the conditions of a problem. While pupils should not be required to use a pencil to solve a problem that can be solved mentally, it would help the class to have these four examples worked on the board as an indication that in the subsequent examples there may be needed any one of the four operations learned thus far, and to serve as a model in their arrangement of the other problems.
While many teachers require the pupils to write the denomina- tion of each addend, of the subtrahend and the minuend, of the multiplicand, and of the dividend, it is scarcely necessary. In later life it is not done ; and confusion is sometimes produced in the minds of young scholars by attempting to make them under- stand why, for example, 60 pints divided by 2 will sometimes give a quotient of 30 pints, and at other times, as in the 6th

NOTES ON CHAPTES^gSfKfcALlFQSS^ 23
problem, an apparent quotient of 30 quarts. It will be found more satisfactory, even if less scientific, to have the denomination written only with the result.
Although no formal instruction in finding halves and thirds of numbers has as yet been given, the average pupil will be able to solve problems 10, 11, and 14.
85. Lay no stress on the local value of the figures. Practice will enable the children to read and write correctly numbers of four figures. Teach the pupil to write the comma when the word " thousand " is said and after the number of thousands, the comma to be followed always by three figures.
97. Children should be led to see that 12 X 2 is the same as 12 + 12 ; so that when they come to 15 X 2, they will have no difficulty in deducing the rule for writing 0 and carrying 1 when they multiply the 5 by 2.
98. Give the pupils time to find for themselves the quotient of 30-^2. If it becomes necessary to show some of them how to work the example, do not elaborate the meaning of the 1 (ten) remainder when the tens' figure, 3, is divided by 2. An experi- enced mathematician, in dividing 9752 by 2, does not say 2 into 9 thousand 4 thousand times with a remainder of 1 thousand, 2 into 1700 8 hundred -times with a remainder of 1 hundred, etc.
In dividing 30 by 2, children should not be permitted to write the first remainder, 1, before the 0, to indicate that 2 is to be divided into 10 for the second quotient figure. Children learn to work just as well without these unnecessary scaffolds.
104. While these drill exercises introduce a multiplier greater than 2, they contain no combinations, except 3x3, other than those found in the preceding work. After working these exam- ples, the pupils will have learned that twice 9 is equal to 9 twos, — that when he knows the table of 2's, he knows a portion at least of the table of 3's, 4's, etc., to 9's.
24 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
111. When the teacher places the pointer on a number in one of the two outer spaces of the first circle, the pupil promptly gives the result obtained by adding to it the number contained in the inmost space. When this last number has been combined with all the others, it is replaced by a different number.
112. These drills are useful to impress upon a child the fact that when he knows, for instance, that 6 and 5 are 11, he should also know that 6 and 15 are 21, that 6 and 25 are 31, etc. They may also be employed as subtraction drills.
115. Division drills are necessary to enable pupils to acquire facility in obtaining quotients and remainders. When pupils are dividing by 2, the numbers from, say, 9 to 19 are written on the board with 2 underneath.
9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19
When the pointer is placed at the 9, the pupil answers 4 and 1; when placed at 14, he answers 7; at 17, 8 and 1; etc. Other divisors may be employed, but care should be taken not to have any quotient figure but 1 or 2 at this time, as pupils have not yet learned the table of 3's. Thus, when 6 is used as a divisor, the teacher should not use a dividend greater than 17. When the three-times table is known, numbers from 12 to 29 may be written.
Facility in division will come only by practice, and it may be necessary for the teacher to supplement the examples of the book by others of her own.
118. Do not fail to keep up practice in addition and sub- traction.
119. Subtraction examples in which the subtrahend is given before the minuend should occasionally be used.
NOTES ON CHAPTER TWO 25
121. Do not worry a pupil by attempting to explain, through problem 9, the difference between division and partition. Let him
write ^ — without taking advantage of the opportunity
25 pounds
to show him that he should have an abstract quotient when the divisor and dividend are both concrete.
140. The analysis of problem 3 should not be required. A pupil that obtains from problem 2 the knowledge that 18 five- dollar bills amount to $90 will probably get the correct answer to the next problem, even though he may have to use 5 as a multiplier instead of the 18 that the more common form of the analysis would require. The other form should not be presented at this stage.
143. Children should be permitted to determine for themselves the method of obtaining the half of 36. It may require a little longer time than to show them, but the time will not be wasted.
147. Roman notation is not of much importance. Most chil- dren learn sufficient about it from the numbers affixed to their reading lessons.
157. Teachers should not endeavor to show by drawings that a quart measure is twice as large as a pint. If a pint measure is represented by a rectangle, each side of the rectangle indicating the quart should be only about 1£ times that of the former in order to preserve the correct ratio, and children are not mathe- maticians enough to understand that where one of two similar solids has its corresponding dimensions 1-J- times those of the other, the volume of the former is double that of the latter. Use the measures themselves, borrowing them, if necessary, from a neighboring store.
159. A few problems involving more than one operation are here introduced. Avoid, if possible, giving help; and do not
26 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
require the scholars to perform unnecessary work, or to follow the same mode of solution or arrangement. In solving the first, some may write on their slates only two numbers, viz. 15 and 35. Others may set down 15, 15, and 20, etc. Do not teach yet how to multiply by a mixed number.
VI
NOTES ON CHAPTER THREE
While the teaching of formal definitions should find no place in the arithmetical instruction of the earlier years, the teacher should not hesitate to employ such technical terms as are called for by the work of the grade. Pupils gradually learn to under- stand what is meant by multiplier, quotient, remainder, etc., even where no attempt is made to explain the signification of the words. They will also become able to use each correctly, even if they cannot state its exact meaning in language that will satisfy a critical mathematician.
164. Sight exercises in division should be extended to cover dividends that are not multiples of the divisor. The slate exam- ples in division supplied thus far have no remainders, as children find it more agreeable in the earlier stages of this work to have the answer a whole number. The partial dividends, however, do not always exactly contain the divisor, hence the need of such drills as will enable the pupil to determine rapidly the quotient figure and the remainder. Until Art. 176 is reached, this remainder need not be given by the pupils in the form of a fraction. See Art. 115.
168. In making " original problems," the pupil should strive to be original. No problem should be accepted as satisfactory that is substantially the same as one already furnished by another pupil. If, for example, the following is given to illus- trate 12 X 5 : " What will be the cost of 5 yards of ribbon at 12 cents a yard? " the teacher should not be satisfied with — " How
27
28 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
much will be paid for 5 pounds of cheese at the rate of 12 cents per pound?"
174. While the problems are gradually becoming more diffi- cult, some of them can be done by bright pupils without using the pencil. In these cases, require that only the answers should be written. See previous notes on problem work. (Arts. 23, 84, and 159.)
178. Children should be permitted to follow their own 26 plan of finding the product of 26 by 1^-. Some may do +13 the work by simply placing 13 under 26. The regular 39 method should not be taught until, perhaps, the 25th example, as the previous ones can be done by the children with- out assistance. At this point, however, the systematic 124 way of multiplying by a mixed number may be pre-
2| sented, which should be followed in such subsequent
31 examples as are not so simple as to make this amount 248 of writing unnecessary, as is the case in the 26th. 279 In finding £ of 124, the pupil should not be permitted
to write the multiplicand, 124, in some other part of his slate, and 4 as a divisor in front of it. No other writing of figures should be allowed than is given above. A little practice will enable scholars to perform this division and other similar operations, without always bringing into close contact the num- bers to be handled.
In some European countries, the multiplier is 760 X 1-J- placed at the right of the multiplicand, instead of 152 being written underneath. An example like the
912 26th would be worked in that case without writing
760 a second time. To small children, how- ever, it would be confusing to be required to learn two 760 methods of working examples so nearly alike ; hence the 1^ advisability of uniformly following the plan originally 152 given, of first finding the fractional part, and then multi- 760 plying by the whole number. 912
NOTES ON CHAPTER THREE 29
180. The arrangement of work should begin to receive
some attention. In solving the second problem, some 2)70
children will find the cost of -^ pound of tea on one por- 35
tion of the slate, and then write this amount, 35^, on -J-25
another part, with 25^ underneath. They should be 60^ led to see how to avoid doing unnecessary work.
186. Some short examples in the addition and the subtraction of horizontal columns are given, to accustom children to handle numbers that are not arranged for work in the usual way. The addition example could be used to explain the reason for " carrying," but the explanation should be deferred for the present.
191. Examples in division should occasionally be presented to pupils in the form used in the second column. When children recognize *f- as an example in division, they need no rule for the reduction of an improper fraction to a whole or to a mixed number.
197. Do not furnish the pupils with a method of solving the 9th example that is suited to a sixth year class in denominate numbers. Leave them to their own resources as much as pos- sible.
202. More drill examples are needed than are furnished in the book.
203. To secure good work in division, much practice must be given. Many more examples than are here supplied may be needed by some classes.
213. While it is convenient to write the subtrahend under the minuend, pupils should gradually accustom themselves to perform the fundamental operations with numbers in other than the usual positions.
30 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
215. Children should be encouraged to avoid unnecessary
7U19 wr^ing. They should be led to see that after finding
Ty on one part of the slate that -f of 119 is 17, they should
X 5 not place this number in another place in order to multi-
"etcT ply by 5.
220-223. These drills are intended to lead up to the use of larger numbers in the oral work of the pupils.
224. It is not advisable to begin formal instructions in frac- tions at this stage of school life. There is no need of defining the word "fraction" for the present. Eveiy member of the class will be able to tell what is the sum of £ and -£, especially if the question is put in the form of a problem.
It will be necessary, perhaps, to explain that 4 X % is another way of expressing -J- of 4 ; that ^-X 10 means 10 halves. 1-^-J- will also require translation into the form, " How many halves in 1 ? " Pupils may be led to see this by being asked to indicate by signs and figures the example, " How many twos are there in eighteen?" The drills in the use of fractional divisors need not be made prominent for the present.
230. Accustom children to writing the decimal point in the product, as soon as it is reached in multiplying. Reasons should not be dwelt upon.
231. The above applies to placing the decimal point in the quotient.
238. Unless pupils have been carefully trained to give only reasonable answers to slate problems, there will be some who will obtain 171 as the sum of 13 J and 4J. They will first write 1 as the equivalent of ^ + ^-; and to this they will prefix 17, obtained by adding 13 and 4. The special training in number received by pupils taught by the Grube method prevents to a great extent the absurd mistakes found in the answers
NOTES ON CHAPTER THREE 31
given JDV pupils, even of high-school classes, to simple problems. When the early arithmetical instruction is largely given to work in the fundamental processes, the teacher should make liberal use of oral problems, to give the requisite knowledge of number that will enable a pupil to know when his answer is very much out of the way. Systematic instruction in finding " approxi- mate " results is supplied in later chapters.
239. These examples are intended to lead up to finding the difference between a whole number and a mixed number.
240. Pupils will find little difficulty in working out these examples if they are left to themselves.
241. When the addition and the subtraction of mixed num- bers containing halves are readily performed, the teacher will find comparatively little trouble with the work under Arts. 241-245. Encourage pupils to make diagrams; or, if necessary, to divide circles into quarters, and to use these parts in performing the required operations with the fractions.
To find, for instance, the sum of £ + £, it may be advisable to permit some scholars to arrange the six quarter-circles in such a way as to make a whole circle and a half-circle.
246. As children are more accustomed to dealing with halves and quarters than with thirds, a little more illustrative work may be needed in Arts. 246-250, than was required in the pre- vious work in the addition and the subtraction of mixed num- bers.
VII
NOTES ON CHAPTER FOUR
253-258. In the last chapter, pupils were required to add only fractions containing the same denominator ; in this chapter, an addition or a subtraction example may contain fractions whose denominators are different. For the present, however, it will not be necessary to call attention to the need of reducing fractions to a common denominator. The average scholar can solve these examples without assistance, if he has been able to work out those found in Chapter III.
259. While these problems are becoming more difficult, they are still well within the powers of a pupil that is really anxious to solve them. When, however, they are found to be beyond the capacity of many members of the class, the teacher may first use them as " sight " problems, with some slight changes in the figures.
If, for instance, after a pupil that reads the first from his book declares that he is unable to obtain the answer mentally, the teacher may give it as follows :
A sailor has 10 yards of cloth. He uses 4 yards for a coat and 2 yards for a vest. How many yards has he left ?
In the second, 1|- pounds may be substituted for 1^ pounds; in the third, 3 packages instead of 4; 20 dozen in the fourth, instead of 3£ dozen.
Slate work on these problems should not be permitted until so many have been solved in this way that the pupil has had time to forget what operations have been used in each. This will
32
NOTES ON CHAPTER FOUR 33
require him to study the conditions of the different problems, instead of relying upon his memory.
266. When the formal analysis of oral problems is made a feature of the work, it is important that the statements be not so long as to be tedious.
In the first, for example, the following would be sufficient, after the pupil has stated the problem:
" If 8 ounces of tea cost 40 cents, 1 ounce will cost 5 cents, and 5 ounces will cost 25 cents."
While the customary order has been followed in the systematic treatment of the various topics, pupils are called upon in the earlier chapters of Mathematics for Common /Schools to solve many problems that are frequently deferred in other books to a later stage of their arithmetical instruction. While scholars readily solve this class of problems, they are not always able to state in technical language the reasons for the various proc- esses employed in obtaining the answers. A child who sees that division is used to ascertain the number of ten-cent pies that can be purchased for forty cents, cannot be made to understand thus early in his school life that the same process is used to find what part of such a pie can be bought for five cents. A correct state- ment by the pupil of his method of reaching the result, should usually be accepted as satisfactory. Even in the more simple questions, set forms of analysis should be carefully avoided.
268. To prevent misunderstanding, parentheses have been employed even when not required by arithmetical usage. The quantities within the parentheses must be added, multiplied, etc., before being operated upon by the quantity outside. The third example becomes 30 X 3 ; the fourth, 80 -4- 4 ; the fifth, \ of 80; the eighth, 70 -f- 7, etc.
269. These may be used as slate examples, if they are found
too difficult for " sight " work.
34 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
271. Some of these questions may not require the use of a pencil ; Nos. 6, 7, 8, 11, and 19, for instance.
272. The answers to the first ten examples should be given at sight.
273. Use 49 to 57, inclusive, as " sight " examples ; also as many as possible of those in the next section.
274. When the divisor ends in one or more ciphers, the latter are set off by a vertical bar, and also a corresponding number of figures from
the right of the dividend. To keep the pupil from omitting
these figures from the remainder, it is advisable to require him
to write the partial remainder as above, before he
8 1 0)434 [1 begins to divide. Then, using 8 as a divisor, he
54|^ writes the quotient figures in their places, and
completes the partial remainder by prefixing 2 to
the 1 that was originally brought down.
It being the usual practice in abstract examples 8|0)434!0 in division to refrain from reducing the fractional 54ff
part of the quotient to lowest terms, the above
method may be used in examples where both the 80)4340 divisor and the dividend terminate in a cipher. 54f Some teachers prefer, however, in this case, to can- cel the cipher in each, and to^ give the quotient of 4340 -*- 80 as 54f .
277. Employ in " sight " work.
278. The foot-rule and the yardstick should be used by the children. They should ascertain, for instance, the length of their slates in inches, the length of the blackboard in yards or in feet, the height of the blackboard in feet, the dimensions of the room, etc.
NOTES ON CHAPTER FOUR 35
280. It will be sufficient to accustom pupils to placing the product by the tens' figure one place to the left without giving the reason therefor. Neatness in the arrangement of the work, and the careful writing of figures, will prevent some mistakes.
282. In short division, the scholar has been taught to place the first figure of the quotient under the last figure of its partial dividend, and to write under each — ^ succeeding figure of the dividend its corresponding quotient figure. When his work is neatly arranged, he seldom omits ciphers, nor does he often obtain two quotient figures from one partial dividend.
To obtain the benefit of this experience, the pupil should be taught in long division to write the quotient over the dividend. By doing this, he will not be tempted, as are some beginners that place the quotient at the right, to give 23-2lr as the answer to the above example ; nor will he be likely to think that 252 contains 21, 111 times. This last result is obtained by assuming that the second partial dividend, 42, contains the divisor 1 time, with a re- mainder of 21. This latter is then made a partial dividend, with the above result.
285. While the pupil may write 16 as a multiplier in the 5th problem, he should be required to multiply by 80, ^ in order to shorten the work. The multiplication by 30 -,„ should be performed, also, without rewriting the numbers — so as to place 30 under 16.
286-290. The special drills will be found of great value in giving pupils a knowledge of numbers ; and many oral problems employing these and similar combinations should be made by the teacher. Oral problems containing large numbers should, as a rule, require but one operation for their solution.
36 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
In the oral addition of numbers of two figures, the pupil should not commence, as in slate work, with the units' figures. The special drills of the last chapter should have taught him to think immediately of 80 when he sees 40 + 40, 60 + 20, 50 + 30, etc. The next step in this work should contain such combina- tions as 47 + 40, 63 + 20, 54 + 30, etc. In adding 54 and 30, the pupil should be taught to first see the eighty, then the four. The sum of 27 and 32 (the third step) should be obtained by joining 27 and 30 to make 57, and adding 2 to this result to obtain 59. If the pupil begins with the units, 7 and 2, he is likely to forget the tens' figures. When the addition work is readily performed, the pupil finds little trouble with the rest. There being no carrying, he will readily obtain the product of 32 by 3, and the others given in Art. 288, especially if he begins the multiplication at the tens' figure. After he becomes expert in adding and multiplying, he will experience no difficulty in subtracting and dividing.
294. The teacher should not encourage unnecessary work,
by permitting children to write the sum of 12J + 6J as 18| =
18 + 1 = 19. If, however, it be deemed advisable in the 4th
example, for instance, that the fractions should be expressed
with the same denominator, care must be taken to prevent
pupils fr°m making such mistakes as using the sign of
equality between ^ and J- in such a way as to represent
— i-l-4 that 50J is the equivalent of J-. A vertical line drawn
5 ¥ I ¥ between the two sets of fractions will serve to separate
the original example from the auxiliary portion. (See Art. 310.)
304. As some children merely look for the figures of a prob- lem without paying attention to its terms, an occasional one is given in which some or all of the numbers are expressed in words.
306. In making out a bill, it is convenient to be able to write the cost of 196 Ib. at 4^ per Ib. without using another sheet of
NOTES ON CHAPTER FOUR 37
paper and placing the 4 under 196. In working these examples, the pupil is expected to write only one figure of the product at a time. It is not intended that all of these twenty-five examples should be done before proceeding with the subsequent work. A few of them should be used from time to time throughout the term.
307. The last sentence applies also to these examples. A few of the easier ones should first be given. After more practice in long division, the more difficult ones may be taken up.
310. Whenever it becomes necessary, in the 8
opinion of the teacher, to permit the rewriting 49J 7 of the fractions with a common denominator, 20|- 4 she should, as soon as possible, have her pupils 70f ^ = If write the common denominator only once, as
above. When the common denominator is written 49|- J under each numerator, it is likely to be confusing to 20^- f -children, not to speak of the danger of its being added -^ in occasionally with the numerators.
312. See Art. 268.
316. Where the multiplier ends with ciphers, some teachers think that time is saved by omitting the ciphers from the partial products. The ciphers at the right of the multiplier are written beyond the multipli- cand, and are brought down at the end of the work. 98800
Other teachers prefer to place the numbers as is gen- erally done in multiplication, writing a cipher under each one in the multiplicand as its partial product, and writing 76 the partial products by 3 and 1 under these figures, 1300 respectively. This method will be found to give more 22800 satisfactory results later on, when pupils have such
76 multipliers as 20£, 300J, etc., in which a fraction fol-
98800 lows the ciphers.
38 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
319. See Art. 310. When an addition example consists of more than two mixed numbers with fractions of different denom- inators, it may be advisable to permit young children to write out the successive opera- tions in the manner here indicated.

Many of the fifty examples on this page should be used as "sight" work from the
= If = 1% blackboard, the pupils writing only the results. Nos. 1-6, 8-9, 13-16, 23-24, 26, 31-37, 41-43, 49-50 can be treated in this way after they have been worked out on the slate, if not in the first instance.
321. Until children obtain some knowledge of numbers, their progress in long division is very slow. In dividing 918 by 17, for instance, a pupil that is not properly instructed will some- times take 1 as the first figure of the quotient. When, after subtracting, he obtains a remainder of 74, he may realize that he is wrong without being able to determine just how far astray he is. In this case he tries 2 as the quotient figure, ascertaining the product of 17x2 in a corner of his slate, and then trans- ferring the 34 to its proper position under the first two figures of the dividend. Another subtraction follows, with a resulting remainder, again, perhaps, recognized as too great ; and so on.
The object of these drills is to enable the scholar to reach at once a close approximation to the correct quotient figure. Their use may be commenced in some such way as the following :
The teacher writes on the blackboard a convenient number of those found among the first twenty, arranging them as shown below, with the divisor preceding the dividend. Under these she places the corresponding ones from the second and third sets, respectively.
20)160 60)360 90)450 50)300 30)270 19)160 59)360 89)450 49)300 29)270 21)160 61)360 91)450 51)300 31)270
NOTES ON CHAPTER FOUR 39
Placing the pointer on those in the first row, successively, she receives the quotients promptly. She then asks for the quotient of the first in the third row, 21)160. If the pupil announces 8 as the result, he should be required to give mentally the prod- uct of 21 X 8, which he will find to be too great. He is thus led to see that the quotient is 7, with a remainder. The other quotients in this row are then elicited. After a pupil discovers that 21 is not contained 8 times in 160, that 61 is not con- tained 6 times in 360, etc., he may be introduced to the second row. A little questioning will enable him to perceive that if 160 -5- 20 = 8, the quotient of 160 •+• 19 must be at least 8, with a remainder; that 360-^59 gives a quotient of 6, with something over, etc. Regular practice with this particular set of drills will rob division by 19, 29, 39, etc., of some of its terrors to slow pupils, as they will be led to use 2, 3, 4, etc., as " trial divisors" instead of 1, 2, 3, etc., whereby they will be able to obtain their answers in a reasonable time.
After the children have become able to announce at once the quotients of all the drills in the first three sets, and other similar ones supplied by the teacher, they may take up the remaining ones by degrees. When there is a remainder, the pupils should not be required to calculate it.
324. The quotient of 2,800-^200 may be made more obvious if the dividend is read 28 hundred, instead of two thousand eight hundred.
328. See Art. 274, as to writing the partial remainder before beginning to divide.
341. Do not give reasons for the location of the partial prod- ucts. There is plenty of time for the science of arithmetic later on in the course.
343. Although the divisors contain three or four figures, these examples should not prove so difficult as many of those already
40 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
worked. A pupil that has learned from the pre- i_ vious drills that 800 -5- 200-= 4, will be able to see 201)8643 that 201 is contained 4 times in the first three fig- ures of 8,643. The teacher should be careful to
see that the first quotient figure is written in its etc. ,
proper place.
No. 36 may cause some hesitation until the pupil perceives that he has to divide 81 hundred and something by 9 hundred and something. No. 37 will become simple if handled in the same way. In No. 47, 98 hundred divided by 12 hundred will give the clue to the quotient ; in Nos. 48 and 50, nine thousand and two thousand should be used for this purpose.
344. With such a multiplier as 209, some teachers write a series of ciphers to denote the product by 0. The method given in the text-book is the one gener- ally followed in later school life, and is just as easily taught to beginners as the above.
346. Where the multiplicands are small, as in nearly all of these examples, the product by the fraction should be determined " mentally" and written in its place. A pupil 3 should not be encouraged to waste time by indicating on — E
another part of his slate that 64 is to be divided ^— by 8, and that this product is to be multiplied by 3, and doing all this work to reach a result that — - can be readily obtained without any writing whatever. In Nos. 78 and 88, such pupils as need to use the pencil in multiplying by the fraction should be permitted to do so. The teaching of the common method of multiplying by a mixed number is taken up at the beginning of the next chapter.

NOTES ON CHAPTER FIVE
347. The denominators of fractional multipliers have hereto- fore been factors of the multiplicands, and the latter have been, as a rule, small numbers. With the introduction of larger num- bers and the occasional use of multiplicands that are not multiples of the denominators of the fractions in the multiplier, it becomes necessary to furnish pupils with a general method of dealing with this class of examples. (See Arithmetic, Art. 347.)
348. In multiplying 27 by 13^, some pupils may
be tempted to follow the rule, and to multiply 27 by -.^
the numerator 1. In the first few examples this may q\ 07^
be permitted, but the scholars should soon be taught — Q-
to discontinue the practice, and to divide the multipli- , cand without rewriting it. (See Art. 178.)
350. In adding 56 and 17, the pupil should first combine 56 and 10 to make 66, and then add 7. (See Art. 286.)
351. Children taught subtraction by the " building-up " method will ascertain how many must be added to 19 to make 66, by saying 19 and 40 are 59, and 7 are 66 ; or 19 and 7 are 26, and 40 are 66. While the second plan is easier in some respects, it gives the 40 and the 7 of the result in the reverse order, which makes it necessary for the pupils to transpose them. In this respect, the first plan is more satisfactory.

42 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
When the other method of subtraction is practiced in slate work, 66 is first diminished by 10 and then by 9. To find the difference between 94 and 76, the pupil takes 70 from 94, leaving 24, and from this remainder takes 6.
352. In multiplying 24 by 4 the pupil begins at the tens. Four times 20 are 80, to which is added 4x4, making 96.
353. While nearly the whole class will learn to give answers mentally to the previous combinations, it may be necessary to use the division drills as " sight " work chiefly.
359. See Art. 319.
362. Oral problems involving several operations, or those of an unfamiliar type, should be solved from the book as "sight" work, and should be followed later on by similar questions an- swered without seeing the numbers. No. 5 is of the second kind ; and it might be well to place it on the board, writing " 2 thirds '* and " 1 third " to express the parts, instead of employing the fractional form or that given in the book. In No. 7, the quotient of 60-^40 will be expressed by 1J, instead of the 1|^- obtained by writing the remainder over the divisor. No. 5 should not be made an excuse for teaching a method of obtaining the cost of the whole when that of a part is given.
These examples are introduced to give variety to the work, to lay a foundation for subsequent systematic treatment of problems of this kind, and to give a pupil an opportunity to use his think- ing powers. The way to deprive them of value is to " explain " how they should be done, or to require from the scholars too much analysis.
363. If the school does not own these measures, the teacher should endeavor to secure the loan of a quart, a peck, and a bushel, for a few hours, at least. Sawdust could be used to show pupils that the peck contains eight quarts, etc.
NOTES ON CHAPTER FIVE 43
364. While many of the problems of this article resemble the previous oral problems, it may be advisable to solve a number of them as " sight " work, changing the numbers when necessary. The first may be read " How many 200-lb. barrels can be filled from 6,000 Ib. ? " In the second and third, the fractions may be omitted. The cost of the calico and of the ribbon in No. 4 may be made 10 $. Nos. 5 and 6 need no change, perhaps.
370-372. Do not waste time by endeavoring to use these ex- amples to explain " carrying " or the local value of digits.
374. The answers should be written directly from the book. Do not permit scholars to copy the examples on their slates.
377. First, perform operations on the quantities enclosed within the parentheses.
384. Very little preliminary explanation will be needed-. Place f \ *> (a) on the blackboard, and ask a /^\ ?
125 pupil to write the missing number 125
632 in its place, one figure at a time, 632
999 beginning with the units' figure. 1000
Have another pupil work (b) in the same way. Nos. 1 to 5 may be used as a class exercise, each pupil writing only the answer on his paper, the examples being placed on the board.
385. In many German schools, children are not permitted in long division to write the partial products. Examples 6-23 are given to train pupils to omit these products when the quotient contains but one figure. After a few of them are worked on the board, the answers to the others may be written by all the pupils, as suggested in the preceding article. In writing the answers, the pupils should first set down the quotient figure, then the divisor as the denominator of a fraction, and lastly the remainder as a numerator. (See Art. 563, p. 55.)
44 MANUAL FOR TEACHERS
386-388. These examples should be placed on the board, and the pupils should write the results one figure at a time.
397-401. See Art. 321. 405-406. See Arts. 306 and 307.
407. Prove the correctness of the grand total by comparing the total of the 6th column with that of the llth row.
412. Permit the pupils to use their own method of working these examples, and avoid giving unnecessary assistance.
413-414. Example 1 should be omitted where pupils do not receive marks that are thus averaged. No. 2 may also be omitted if the word "average" is not understood by the pupils.
424-426. See Arts. 286-290, page 34.
429. In Examples 1, 2, 5, 9, etc., it will hardly be necessary to inform the pupils that 1 is not considered a factor of a number.

EQUATION OF PAYMENTS
Equation of Payments is a method of ascertaining at what time several debts due at different times may be settled by a single payment.
The Equated Time of payment is the time when the several debts may be equitably settled by one payment.
The Term of Credit is the time the debt has to run before it becomes due.
DEFINITIONS, PRINCIPLES, AND RULES XXi
The Average Term of Credit is the time the debts due at different times have to run, before they may be equitably settled by one payment.
To find the Equated Time of Payment when the Terms of Credit begin at the Same Date,
RULE. — Multiply each debt by its term of credit, and divide the sum of the products by the sum of the debts. The quotient will be the average term of credit.
Add the average term of credit to the date of the debts, and the result will be the equated time of payment.
To find the Equated Time when the Terms of Credit begin at Different Dates,
RULE. — Find the date at which each debt becomes due. Select the earliest date as a standard.
Multiply each debt by the number of days between the standard date and the date when the debt becomes due, and divide the sum of the products by the sum of the debts. The quotient will be the average term of credit from the standard date.
Add the average term of credit to the standard date, and the result will be the equated time of payment.
RATIO
Ratio is the relation one number bears to another of the same kind.
The Terms of the ratio are the numbers compared.
The Antecedent is the first term.
The Consequent is the second term.

PRINCIPLES. — See Fractions.
PROPORTION
A Proportion is formed by two equal ratios.
The Extremes of a proportion are the first and last terms.
The Means of a proportion are the second and third terms.
XX11 SUPPLEMENT
PRINCIPLES. — The product of the means is equal to the prod- uct of the extremes.
Either mean equals the product of the extremes divided by the other mean.
Either extreme equals the product of the means divided by the other extreme.
RULE FOR PROPORTION. — Represent the required term by x.
Arrange the terms so that the required term and the similar known term may form one couplet, the remaining terms the other.
If the required term is in the extremes, divide the product of the means by the given extreme.
If the required term is in the means, divide the product of the extremes by the given mean.
PARTNERSHIP
Partnership is an association of two or more persons for busi- ness purposes.
The Partners are the persons associated.
The Capital is that which is invested in the business.
The Assets are the partnership property.
The Liabilities are the partnership debts.
To find the Profit, or Loss, of Each Partner when the Capital of Each is Employed for the Same Period of Time,
RULE. — Find the part of the entire profit, or loss, that each partner's capital is of the entire capital.
To find the Profit, or Loss, of Each Partner when the Capital of Each is Employed for Different Periods of Time,
RULE. — Find each partner's capital for one month, by multi- plying the amount he invests by the number of months it is employed; then find the part of the entire profit, or loss, that each partner's capital for one month is of the entire capital for one month.
