COURSE OF STUDY IN MATHEMATICS 1905
GENERAL DIRECTIONS.
1. Each teacher should study the entire course that she may obtain a broad view of the work, give intelligent and regular reviews and be properly influenced in her plans and methods by previews of higher grade outlines.
2. Teach each new process objectively at first. When pupils can think readily without objects discontinue their use.
3. There should be much oral work in all grades. It is more important than written work and should always precede it. It should be easy enough to permit the pupils to give their chief attention to the reasoning process.
4. In assigning lessons a minimum amount should be required of all, and an additional amount may be provided for the more rapid workers. Pupils quick in one study and slow in another should be allowed to use part of the study period of the former to lengthen the study time of the latter.
5. Develop the use of language, oral and written. Explana- tions should be required but not in any set form, although loose,
39
40
COURSES OF STUDY.
indefinite statements should not pass unnoticed. Neat and care- ful work should always be required.
GRADE I.
I. Recognition of numbers through ten by counting, without counting and through simple constructive work with measures.
2. Counting by ones, by tens, and by fives to 100.
3. Writing and reading Arabic numbers to 100 but no formal figure work.
4. Inch, foot, yard; pint, quart; cent, nickel, dime ; square inch; cubic inch.
GRADE II.
I. Recognition of numbers from one to one hundred. Teach pupils to count to 100 by 1, 10, 5 ; then by 2, 3 and 4. Count backward.
2. Writing and reading of numbers from one to 1,000 noting carefully the significance of the position of figures. Roman numerals to XII.
3. Make a careful study of numbers from one to twenty. Much practice in estimating length, area, volume and weight. Test by actual measurement. Comparison of lengths and area.
4. Teach the fractions }, { and } in their relation to the foot, yard, quart, etc. ; also of whole numbers.
5. Addition of columns of one figure ; simple work in sub- traction ; very simple problems.
6. Denominate numbers as in previous grade.
GRADE III.
I. Review the work of previous grade. Continue the study and comparison of lines, surfaces and solids; estimating and measuring length, area, volume and weight. Find areas of square and oblong rectangles ; of right-angled triangles.
41
COURSES OF STUDY.
2. Writing and reading of numbers to 1,000. Roman numerals to XX.
3. Teach the facts which occur in the multiplication and division tables to 100. Much rapid oral drill on numbers less than 20. Oral work in division with a remainder. Counting by I's, 2's, 5's and Io's to 200 ; by 3's, 4's and 6's to 100.
4. Written work .- Addition in columns of two figures ; subtraction using terms of not more than two figures; multi- plication and division using no number of more than two figures, and no multiplier or divisor greater than 10. Many simple problems.
5. Denominate numbers. Review and extend the work of previous grade. Add the measuring units peck, bushel ; minute, hour, day ; ounce, pound.
6. Fractions. Review previous work. Teach }, 4, 2, § ; 3, 3, ¿ ; 3, 3, § of whole numbers. Teach objectively by use of divided rectangles. Objective comparison of halves and fourths ; of thirds and sixths.
GRADE IV.
Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of integers involving no number of more than four figures and no multiplier or divisor of more than two figures. Multiplication tables through 12×12. Counting as in previous grade.
2. Write and read numbers to one hundred thousand. Care- ful attention to the significance of the position of figures. Roman numerals to C.
3. Denominate Numbers .- Measures of length, weight, volume, time and capacity reviewed and applied. Special attention to long measure, liquid measure, dry measure and United States money. Memorize tables.
4. Fractions .- Reduction of simple mixed numbers and improper fractions. Addition and subtraction of fractions
42
COURSES OF STUDY.
whose common denominator may be found by inspection Addition and subtraction of mixed numbers. In both oral and written work give special attention to the fractions in common use, 贡,풍,중,柔, 亲, 중, 용, 풍, 종, 중, 흉, ㅎ, ㅎ, 흉, 중·
5. Teach the per cent. equivalents of {, 4, 3, 3, 4, 1%. Simple applications, oral work only.
6. Develop clear ideas of right angle, acute angle and obtuse angle. Find area of cube and square prism. Find cubic con- tents of square prism.
GRADE V.
I. The fundamental operations with integers involving the use of numbers of not more than seven figures. Careful oral drill, especially addition. Factoring, prime factor, common fac- tor, greatest common factor, using numbers occurring as products in the multiplication table.
2. Writing and reading of whole number of nine figures ; of decimals through thousandths.
3. Fractions. Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division and reduction of fractions, easy work. Use largely the fractions given in Grade IV, or fractions, whose common denominators occur as products in the multiplication tables. Applied prob- lems.
4. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of deci- mals using not more than three decimals places. Lead pupils to see reason for "pointing off" by using at first many simple examples. In the beginning the multiplier and divisor should be a whole number.
5. Review tables of denominate numbers previously taught. Applied problems. Reduction, addition and subtraction limited to two successive denominate units.
6. Percentage .- Continue the work of the preceding grade using the same rates and making the problems more difficult, oral and written work. Apply the language of decimals.
7. Review and extend the work of topic 6, Grade IV.
43
COURSES OF STUDY.
GRADE VI.
I. Common fractions .- Finish the subject with particular attention to principles and rules.
2. Decimals .- Careful review. Thorough drill in writing decimals and "pointing off." Complete the subject.
3. Denominate numbers .- All the tables except troy weight, angular measure, surveyor's measure, and apothecary's weight. Many applied problems. Multiplication and division briefly.
4. Percentage .- Drill on easy problems involving the find- ing of percentage and rate. Make a beginning with problems in trade discount and gain and loss. Use such problems as would actually occur in business.
5. Greatest common divisor, least common multiple and cancellation. Avoid needless difficulties.
