The last volume is Ray’s New Higher Arithmetic, suggested for seventh and eighth grades. Here you will have the option of reviewing addition and subtraction or moving on to higher multiplication and division. Upon first glance at the table of contents, it would seem that there will be a lot of review; true on one hand, but not on the other. Once again there will be work on properties, fractions, decimals, ratio and percentage; but we will work at a much deeper level to include what are essentially introductions into accounting principles, taxes, stocks, profit and loss, commission, and algebra.

If you want to teach your children using the tried and true methods that worked so well for our forefathers and our grandparents, you will thoroughly enjoy using these wonderful reproduction books. There’s truly nothing like them.
