This course is designed to start at the beginning of the first grade. 170 lessons are bound in two workbooks, with two facing pages for each lesson. No unit or chapter divisions are given. Money, measures, place value, fractions, and so forth are taught throughout the year, while addition and subtraction facts are being drilled.

A small tablet of 72 speed drills provides timed practice of addition and subtractions facts. These drills begin at lesson 28 and continue through lesson 170. Speed drills are to be given every other day. Directions for using this tablet are on page 6 of the teacher's manual. (The side of the page with empty boxes is only used for correcting errors.)

One hardcover teacher's manual covers the whole course. The preliminary information in the beginning should be thoroughly read so you understand exactly where you are going. This manual is essential for the course. Directions are given to guide the teacher in class time to assure that important concepts are taught and drilled. A reduced copy of the pupil's lesson is included with answers filled in.
