Think Problems" Each card con-
tains five problems, one in addition,
ons in subtraction, one in multiplied
tion and one in division. There is
one extra problem on each card in
volving one of the above named oper-
ations. They ara especially suitable
for drill work in the fourth and fifth
grades. There is also an answer
card that will assist the teacher in
correcting quickly during class reci-
tation or later if the cards have been
used for the regular written lesson.
These cards give each pupil individual
problems. This is great incentive
to REAL thinking. Teachers can get
this set of forty y-nine cards from the
author, Etha M. Lucken, Portland,
N. D., for $1.OO.
