Arithmetic

A Complete K-12 math curriculum,

counting; then takes the child through addition,
subtraction, multiplication, division, and so upward
until calculus, teaching concepts with thorough
explanations followed by ample problem sets. The
Ray's series provides a very full-bodied course of
mathematics.

- “What
makes the Ray's Arithmetic a good math curriculum,
and why is it a good choice for my
children?”
The Ray's Arithmetic is a unique math
series in many ways. The first thing people often notice
when looking at a Ray's math book is the abundance of
word problems. Even many of the simple problems of
addition are given a story setting. There are three
interesting effects of this
method.
First, it gives children an example of how
the principles of math they are learning are used in the
world. This is incredibly helpful, especially to
young children, who often struggle to bring the
abstract ideas of mathematics into terms they
understand.
“Real world,
applied mathematics.
By providing plentiful and intriguing word problems, Ray's
Arithmetic enables children to bridge the gap between
abstract math and the real world.” -12 year homeschool
veteran
Second, this
method allows easy branching into different areas of the
mathematical sciences. By allowing the child to see how
math is applied to the world from the very youngest ages,
it is a small step to continue to apply mathematics to the
world in more complicated ways, such as geometry and
accounting.
Third, and
perhaps the most intriguing, giving math problems in a
worded, story format allowed Joseph Ray to include
educational ideas from other areas like history directly
into the mathematical problems! Consider these problems
taken directly from Ray's Practical Arithmetic: 24.“General
Washington was born A.D. 1732, and lived 67 years: in what
year did he die?” 25. “Alfred the Great died A.D. 901;
thence to the signing of Magna Charta was 314 years; thence
to the American Revolution, 560 years: in what year did the
American Revolution begin?”
-
“Is it difficult to teach the
Ray's Arithmetic?”
The Ray's Arithmetic was
originally created to be used by frontier
Americans, Americans that often lived in areas
where available teachers were few, often far away,
or even completely unavailable. For this reason the
books are designed to allow children, once
they can read, to educate themselves to a
very great extent.
"The books are
logically organized... concepts are built one upon another.
This makes it very easy for students to transition to
different thought processes as they mature. I have never
seen another math curriculum like this." -Homeschool Mom of
four
Every concept is carefully explained, and
all of the subjects follow one after another in a very
logical progression, so that the child is never asked to
work a type of problem which has not yet been discussed.
The Ray's Arithmetic is uniquely qualified for just such
situations such as today's Homeschool movement.
