Abstract
The use of historical materials in the teaching of arithmetic stimulates interest, enthusiasm, and appreciation among pupils for the learning of arithmetic. These materials may also aid pupils to see certain characteristics and relationships. Arithmetic textbooks cannot present complete historical stories on the development of the number system, the number processes and the system of measures. It is important that teachers have available some supplementary books which are suitable for use with children and which can serve as sources of such historical information. Of course, encyclopedias are also sources of some historical information about arithmetic, but these have not been included in the bibliography presented.
