		Elementary arithmetic is the most basic kind of mathematics: it concerns the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
		Elementary arithmetic starts with the natural numbers and the Arabic numerals used to represent them.
		Though starting out with natural numbers, elementary arithmetic then moves on to fractions, then decimals and negative numbers, which can be represented on a number line.

	Arithmetic Summary
		Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics concerned with the numerical manipulation of numbers using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and the extraction of roots.
		Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek word αριθμός = number) is the oldest and simplest branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone, for tasks ranging from simple daily counting to advanced science and business calculations.
		Algorism comprises all of the rules of performing arithmetic computations using a decimal system for representing numbers in which numbers written using ten symbols having the values 0 through 9 are combined using a place-value system (positional notation), where each symbol has ten times the weight of the one to its right.

	What Is Arithmetic?
		Arithmetic is a branch of mathematics that deals with properties of the counting (and also whole) numbers and fractions and the basic operations applied to these numbers.
		The distinction between arithmetic and algebra that underscores the use of letters is valid on an elementary level.
		Elementary algebra, a step ahead of arithmetic, does use letters for formulating and solving problems and to annunciate properties of the arithmetic operations in a general form.

	Arithmetic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Arithmetic or arithmetics (from the Greek word αριθμός = number) is the oldest and most elementary branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone, for tasks ranging from simple daily counting to advanced science and business calculations.
		The prehistory of arithmetic is limited by a very small number of small artifacts indicating a clear conception of addition and subtraction, the best-known being the Ishango Bone from Africa, dating from 18,000 BC.
		Modern algorithms for arithmetic (both for hand and electronic computation) were made possible by the introduction of Arabic numerals and decimal place notation for numbers.

	Aerotek Elementary Binary Arithmetic
		A glance into the dictionary reveals the word binary to mean "characterized by two things or parts." From this, we may infer, correctly, that binary arithmetic is in some way associated with the figure 2.
		In explaining the elements of binary arithmetic in this article, frequent comparisons will be made with the decimal system for the sake of clarity or proof.
		After studying the rudiments of binary arithmetic presented here, the reader should be able, by setting up for himself a number of practice examples for drill, to acquire considerable proficiency in manipulating this invaluable new tool.

	Abolish P-and-P Arithmetic
		This article proposes that paper-and-pencil arithmetic no longer be taught in elementary school and that it be replaced by a curriculum which emphasizes mental arithmetic much more than at present and in which calculators are used for instructional purposes in all grades including kindergarten.
		It is, after all, agreed by almost everyone that the incessant drill-and-practice in arithmetic, which for many years was the hallmark of elementary school mathematics almost everywhere and still is in many places, does not instill much understanding of arithmetic, however much mechanical proficiency may be its result.
		Of course, it is obvious that the mental arithmetic portion of the curriculum must be assessed in a non-calculator environment as must also the application of mental arithmetic in problem solving.

		Perhaps you've heard of the Gentzen proof of the consistency of elementary arithmetic, given that epsilon-0 is a well-ordering.
		Gentzen was able to assign an ordinal under epsilon-0 to each proof in elementary arithmetic, and give a procedure for reducing a proof of a contradiction to a proof of a contradiction whose ordinal is smaller.
		Every true statement of arithmetic has an infinite branching proof tree in a system much like elementary arithmetic but with the omega rule.

	Can You Solve This Paradox? Mind Over Mathematics -- Elementary Arithmetic
		His arithmetic teacher had assigned the students, the mind-busying task of adding up the whole numbers, from 1 to 100.
		The students were to do their calculations at their desks, on small slates, and, when finished, place their slates on a table in the middle of the room, so the slate of the first one finished, would be at the bottom of the pile.
		He finds himself free to inquire anew, beginning first with those elementary principles, which, never simple (except to the simple-minded), unfold a rich bounty of profound ideas, if the underlying, seemingly subtle, paradoxes are sought out.

	Prosp elementary teachers
		Prospective elementary teachers' mathematical knowledge of rational numbers was assessed during the first and second years of the project.
		The main conclusion we draw from this part of the research is that elementary arithmetic topics should be included in the curriculum of the teachers' colleges, but considered from a different perspective.
		In respect to rational numbers, it is essential that the curricula for elementary school teachers attempt to increase their familiarity with common representations of and with them; boost their understanding of the similarities and differences of these representations, and their ability to use them flexibly.

		Although my children attended a private elementary school at which calculators were not used, as soon as they began attending public school in junior high and high school, calculators appeared....
		Teaching arithmetic with calculators is like saying we will do physical training by going for 20 km each day, then driving the 20 km in a car daily.
		In my view, the teaching of basic arithmetic skills is not an option for schools, but rather an important part of their mandate.
