Excerpt from Work and Play With Numbers It has been recognized ever since the days of Pestalozzi that children when they first enter school have a taste for number work and also a considerable knowledge of numer ical forms.

Excerpt from Work and Play With Numbers It has been recognized ever since the days of Pestalozzi that children when they first enter school have a taste for number work and also a considerable knowledge of numer ical forms. They use numbers in their games, they talk about them, they like to count, and they enjoy a little work and play with numbers within their mental grasp. On the other hand, children of this age are not ready for such a study of arithmetic as the formal textbook offers. A textbook of that kind would take away their love for number and would place upon them a burden heavier than they could carry. Not to begin the study of the subject when the child enters school, however, is to say that the child's natural tastes should not be fostered. What we need is to intro duce, in an informal and attractive fashion, such number work as is within his grasp at this time. Experience shows that children can easily learn the combinations in addition, and part of those in multipli cation, before taking up a formal study of the subject; in other words, they can cover the work included in this little book. Since the entire multiplication table is some times required, it is given at the end of the book, to be developed in the usual manner if necessary.
