Understanding Arithmetic, Grade 4

I don't think this book was ever used in a schoolroom.

I say that not only because it's in great shape, but because on the back cover there is a tiny sticker that says, "Kroch's & Brentano's: Chicago, Evanston, Old Orchard, Oakbrook, Oak Park." Those of us who grew up in Chicago during the 1960s know Kroch's & Brentano's as a Chicago tradition, like Fannie May Candies and the Bozo Show.

Enough reminiscing. This is the follow-up book to the last textbook I posted. It starts out with a review of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, then moves ahead into multiplying three- and four-digit numbers, Roman numerals, fractions, charts and graphs.

Sorry....this one's sold.
