The A Beka Arithmetic series approaches mathematics from a traditional perspective, concentrating on mathematical concepts and applications. It promotes the development of computational and problem-solving skills, incorporating practice problems and a comprehensive system of review and testing. Elementary arithmetic begins with the most basic concrete mathematical processes, emphasizes arithmetic facts and skills, and includes concepts such as fractions, decimals, percents, basic geometry, ratio, and proportion.
