Alhambra G. Deming's entertaining stories fuse fiction with
figures, teaching young readers arithmetic while entertaining them
with the adventures of Ralph, an entrepreneurial boy who undertakes
odd jobs to support his family. Number Stories was conceived by
Deming as a way of engaging children with numeracy and basic
mathematics. Through the narrative stories in this book, we learn
how to add, subtract, multiply and divide, while concepts such as
percentages and fractions are also explained. Techniques of mental
arithmetic are also explained, with equations demonstrated in clear
and understandable ways. The narration focuses first on Ralph, a
boy whose father is injured at work. Lacking a source of income to
cover his Dad's health expenses, Ralph sells newspapers and
groceries, makes lemonade, and hands in old clothes as a means of
generating money. Later he journeys with his uncle to the family
farm, where he learns how the farm business is a matter of
calculating the size of fields and harvests.
