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.

For example: A house with a roof, door and windows; kitchen and cooking utensils; water: either pipe borne water, rain water or a well and food are all very important in a home.
Yoruba adage said “Home is for rest after the farm or a hard day’s work, hence it is important to have a house for a person to return to. Check out the names and pictures of many household items on this page.

It is important to be familiar with the names of parts of the body in learning a language because it is often embedded in conversation. Understanding these names would enhance the knowledge of Yoruba by those who love to learn the language. We hope that the pictures and the Yoruba pronunciation on these slides would be useful.
