Psychoarithmetic

This books forms a link between psychology and mathematics. It is a handbook, for both children and adults, of how to help the mind develop in order to fulfil its potential. Here, Dr. Montessori provides a view of the working of the human mind through the lens of arithmetic, geometry, and algebra and their relationships and through applied mathematics in the form of measurement.

Here, as in mathematics, the reader is drawn to attend to each and every detail and that those details form part of the whole one is trying to understand. You'll read about people throughout the ages who have thought and found ways to solve their daily problems of living through mathematics. But we must develop the mind by exploring mathematics in order to utilize these ideas.
