question.
To find the sum of 3 horses and 5 horses is not
the same thing to the child as to find the sum of 3 tops
and 5 tops. Hence a lesson may be given as many times
as may be necessary by properly varying the questions.

Note. The Teacher must illustrate in many ways the two different
meanings of Division. When the divisor is a mere number, as 2, 3, 4,
etc., the meaning of division then is the separation of the given number of things into 2, 3, 4, etc., equal parts, and the quotient will signify
a number of things
like the dividend.
When
the divisor
is
a number
of things like the dividend, the quotient will signify the number of
times the divisor is contained in the dividend that is, the number
of times the divisor can be taken from the dividend.

Note. In Subtraction, the pupils may use the knowledge acquired

Thus, if 8 is to be subtracted from 15, the answer sought
is obtained by discovering the number that must be added to 8 to
make 15. But it is better to keep Subtraction distinct from Addition,
and at this stage to take two steps, just as we did in Addition.
Suppose we are required to take 8 from 15. Let one of the children
put 10 nails in the top row of holes in the counting-board, and 5 in the

When we write numbers which contain thousands

last figure of the thousands, and put a comma in

This comma divides the figures into two periods,
the period of thousands and the period of ones.

then put a
comma
after the 8 for the
word thousand ; then 0, as there are no hundreds,

and lastly, 36 for the word thirty-six.
The unit for the ones' period is 1 sheep.
The unit for the thousands' period is 1000 sheep.
The unit for the next higher period is a million.
A million is 1000 thousands, and is written
1,000,000.

The left-hand period may have one, two, or three
figures,
but every other period must have three
