Publisher's Synopsis
""First Lessons in Numbers in the Natural Order"" by John Homer French was first published in 1870. The book is designed to teach young children the basics of numbers in a natural and logical order. The author believes that children should first learn about visible objects, then concrete numbers, and finally abstract numbers. The book is divided into three parts, each representing one of the three stages of learning. The first part focuses on visible objects, such as apples, birds, and trees. The author uses these objects to teach children how to count and recognize numbers. The second part of the book introduces concrete numbers, such as blocks, marbles, and coins. Children learn how to add and subtract using these objects. The third and final part of the book teaches children about abstract numbers, such as fractions and decimals. The author believes that children should only be introduced to abstract numbers once they have a strong understanding of visible and concrete numbers. Throughout the book, the author uses simple language and illustrations to help children learn. The book is designed to be used by parents and teachers who are teaching young children the basics of numbers.
