Excerpt from The Triangle Arithmetics: Teachers' Handbook for Grades One and TwoHow does number touch the life experiences of young children in a natural way? The answer to this question will depend greatly upon the community in which the child lives and the richness of his home environment. The farm child will meet number in situations not so familiar to the child who lives in the city and vice versa. There are, however, many situations related to number which are common to the work and play of children wherever they may live.It is highly important that the primary teacher know the child experiences in which number plays a part, so that she may draw upon the child's past experiences to make her number work interesting and meaningful. The experiences listed in this chapter are not to be regarded as a course of study to be taught but rather as a survey of the many ways in which a young child encounters number in his home, his community, and his school. This chapter will serve as the background for the actual course of study which is outlined in Chapter Two. It provides ways and means of approaching number teaching in the classroom. The teacher should take the experiences listed here and find which of them have been experienced by her group so that she may use them as her basis for approaching beginning number in terms of the child's experience and understanding and interests.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
