Book Description

Excerpt from Grube's Method of Teaching Arithmetic: Explained and Illustrated, Also the Improvements Upon the Method Made by the Followers of Grube in Germany There is a widespread feeling among American teachers that there is need of better methods of teaching Number, especially in the primary classes. During the last few years, the Grube System, having been introduced into a few schools and discussed at teachers institutes and in educational journals, has attracted the attention of thoughtful educators in various parts of our land. Many of the later Arithmetics have devoted a few pages in outlining this system or in giving a few hints in regard to it. The excellent results apparent in those schools that have tried the system, the enthusiasm of its adherents, and the belief that it is based on sound philosophical principles, have created a desire to a better understanding of it. The design of this little book is to give a plain, concise exposition of the Grube theory, and, at the same time, to illustrate the method of teaching Number in accordance with it. It is intended to be a helpful book for the primary teacher. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
