Abstract
How effective is the meaning method in teaching arithmetic? The answer to this perplexing question still remains uncertain. It is apparent that despite the great amount of literature written on the benefits to be derived from the use of the meaning method by the students, little research has been initiated to justify the great emphasis upon this approach. Most theorists on methods of teaching arithmetic appear to be united in stressing the meaning method. However, are their recommendations on the instruction of arithmetic based upon experimental evidence or are they mere postulation?Keywords
