Arithmetic. —A thorough revision and memorisation of the .composition of all numbers to 20. Addition and s'ubstraction to; bei taken together, e.g., 6 plus 7 equals 13. 7 plus 6 equals 13 13 minus 6 equals! 7. 13 minus 7 equals 6. Multiplication to 5 times should be known by Easter. Division to be learnt with multiplication, e.g., 9 multiplied by 3 equals 27; 3 multiplied bv 9 equals 27; 27 divided by .. equals -9; 27 divided by 9 equals 3. The division sign is to be learned a* the breaking up of a number into o-roups or shares. The multiplication sign equals more than one times any number, a short form of addition, it being quicker to; learn 4 multiplied by 8 equals 32, than to add up 4 eight times. The plus sign meaning to add numbers together, and tire result, or answer, is called the sum or total. The process is called addition. The minus sign means: (1) Tiu take one number from another and find wnat is left; (2) to find the difference between numbers: (3) to find how many more must be added to one number to make up another; (4) to find how much larger, greater, or more one number is than another; (o) to find out how much smaller, or less one number Is than another. Tins process is called subslfaction. Make up tor yourself sums with small numbers showing a. sample of each of. the above rules. Practice extension tables, e.g., 5 15 25 35 45 55 65 75 85 Do 99999 9 9 9 9 9

14 24 34 44 54' 64 74 84 94 1 04

When the principle in these extension tables is grasped, namely, that the same two numbers added together always give the same unit figuie, apply them by adding up a column ol figures, the answer not to exceed 100.
