Primary Mathematics

From Wikibooks, the open-content textbooks collection

This book is intended for beginner readers.

A printable version of Primary Mathematics is available. (edit it)

This book focuses on primary school mathematics for students, whether children or adults. It is assumed that no calculators are used, to encourage mental arithmetic. A parallel project at Wikiversity is underway to provide teaching tools to parents and educators, whether in traditional or home-schooling environments, at Primary School Mathematics.
