Excerpt from The American Intellectual Arithmetic: Designed for the Use of Schools and Academies; Containing an Extensive Collection of Practical Questions, With Concise and Original Methods of Solution, Which Simplify Many of the Most Important Rules in Written Arithmetic Neither a desire of pecuniary gain nor a -wish to appear as an author, prompted the presentation of this work to the public. Having felt the necessity of a more extended and systematic Intellectual Arithmetic for the younger, as well as more advanced pupils, I prepared and used in manuscript, in my own school, for a number of years, such a series of questions as I deemed best adapted to the purpose. After observing the superior mental training derived from their use, and the ease with which pupils thus trained comprehended the more advanced branches of mathematics, I venture to submit them to the public in the following pages, hoping that they may prove as useful to other schools as they have to my own. The rule which I have observed in its preparation is to tell but one thing at a time, and that in its proper place. It would be laborious to point out all the particulars in which this work differs from others of a similar character; I shall, therefore, give only a brief exposition of its general plan, leaving the other differences (which, doubtless, will be considered of importance) to be found by those who study the book.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a valuable intellectual arithmetic exercise tool for younger and more advanced pupils. It begins with simple number questions on adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing, before moving on to more intricate questions which combine these operations in various ways. The questions have been designed to conform with state educational standards and to be challenging enough to boost students' analytical and critical thinking skills, but also accessible enough for both classroom and home learning environments. Broken down into chapters that focus on specific operations, the book avoids overwhelming readers by building their mathematical abilities and confidence gradually. The author advises that, by mastering one operation at a time, students are naturally positioned to progress to more advanced levels of mathematics, such as algebra.
