Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Note-Book on Practical Solid or Descriptive Geometry: Containing Problems With Help for Solutions
IN teaching a large 'class, if the method of lecturing and demonstrating from the black - board only is pursued, the l more intelligent students have generally to be kept back, from the necessity of frequent repetition, for the sake of u/ the less promising; if the plan of setting problems to each pupil is adopted, the teacher finds a difficulty in giving to each sufficient attention. A judicious combination of both methods is doubtless the best, though this is not always easy of attainment in working with numbers - the use of this book may help in accomplishing it.
It is suggested that at the beginning of a chapter, and in some cases with each problem, the teacher should give a black-board explanation, carefully pointing out any fresh steps, before sending his pupils to their work. The number I of examples in each chapter to be worked out by the student is, of course, left to the teacher's judgment of the progress and requirements of his pupil.
