ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Yoruba were doing Arithmetic before learning it in English.  This Publisher learnt simple Arithmetic from her grandmother before enrolling in primary school.  As the Grandmother was processing “raw silk”, she would gather pebbles for her granddaughter for the purpose of teaching simple Arithmetic in Yoruba Language.  Arithmetic in Yoruba Language is almost extinct, because children nowadays, have no one to teach them at home or at school, hence the documentation of these simple Arithmetic in Yoruba Language as can be viewed on this page.
