The author argues that the development of arithmetic as a school subject has been closely tied to the changing needs of society. In the early days, arithmetic was taught primarily as a tool for merchants and traders. However, as society became more complex, the need for a more comprehensive understanding of arithmetic grew. In the 19th century, the author argues, the Prussian school system played a major role in shaping the way arithmetic was taught in schools around the world. The Prussian system emphasized a rigorous, drill-based approach to arithmetic instruction, which was widely adopted by other countries. However, in the 20th century, there was a growing movement to reform arithmetic instruction. This movement was led by educators who argued that the traditional drill-based approach was ineffective and that arithmetic should be taught in a more meaningful way. The author concludes by arguing that the history of arithmetic instruction can teach us valuable lessons about how to teach mathematics effectively in the present day. By understanding the historical roots of our current practices, we can better identify the strengths and weaknesses of those practices and make informed decisions about how to improve them.
