college, introduced the subject of ssNum-
Der Work. He thought mental work she
basic element Of all success ip this line of
: work. Avoid the practice of cutting and
fitting to obtaiu an answer. Let mental
work be the ice-breaker 10 all written
q work.
When shall we begin number work.
AS soon as the child is able to count It's
toes and fingers. Use object method.
Whatever you do, avoid using the text
book too much. Read the problem; then

He thus illustrated methods to be used
In number work.
