A Study of Mathematical Education Including the Teaching of Arithmetic - Benchara Branford - Bog

This book, written by two leading educators, offers a detailed examination of mathematical education in the early 20th century. The authors argue that too much emphasis is placed on rote memorization and not enough on understanding the underlying concepts of arithmetic. They propose a more hands-on approach to teaching, using concrete objects and activities to help students develop a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. A fascinating look at the history of math education.
