An Inquiry Into The Teaching Of Addition And Subtraction (1901)

By Albert Duncan Yocum

Book Overview

An Inquiry Into The Teaching Of Addition And Subtraction is a book written by Albert Duncan Yocum in 1901. The book aims to examine the methods and techniques used in teaching addition and subtraction to young children. The author provides a comprehensive analysis of the subject matter, presenting various theories and approaches that can be used to effectively teach these fundamental mathematical concepts.Yocum argues that the traditional approach to teaching addition and subtraction, which involves rote memorization of facts and algorithms, is not the most effective method. Instead, he suggests a more conceptual approach that focuses on building a deep understanding of the underlying principles of arithmetic.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the teaching of addition and subtraction. Yocum begins by discussing the importance of a strong foundation in basic arithmetic skills, and then moves on to examine the various methods that can be used to teach addition and subtraction, including visual aids, manipulatives, and games.Throughout the book, Yocum emphasizes the importance of active learning and hands-on activities in the classroom. He also provides numerous examples and exercises to help teachers develop their own lesson plans and teaching strategies.Overall, An Inquiry Into The Teaching Of Addition And Subtraction is a valuable resource for educators and anyone interested in the teaching of mathematics. Yocum's insights and recommendations are still relevant today, over a century after the book was first published.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
