From the section Basic arithmetic concepts, I have removed the following:
Mathematics education -- National Numeracy Strategy -- Numeracy -- Standards-based mathematics -- Traditional mathematics - Pre-algebra
These are not topics in arithmetic per se, but rather in mathematics education. I will be paring the list further and will collect all trimmed topics here. JFPerry 17:48, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Braces -- Brackets -- Parentheses -- Cancel -- Numerator - Denominator -- Power of four -- Difference -- Product -- Square - Cube -- Whole number -- Mixed number - Tenth - Percent
Articles braces, brackets and parentheses removed. They are not basic. Rather, they would be considered within an article on aggregation (signs of aggregation) or the order of operations article. JFPerry 22:19, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey folks! Please base articles on sources, not on opinions about what stuff is about. Arithmetic remains a major area of mathematical research. In fact, until recently one could collect two million dollars to solve some basic problems in arithmetic that had been outstanding for over a hundred years. Unfortunately, only one million is currently available. 71.182.216.55 ( talk) 05:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
Due to a number of undiscussed moves, a proposal was made to rename outlines to "List of ... topics".
The proposal failed.
Therefore, based on the outcome of that discussion (which lasted from Sept 6 to Oct 12), I'm restoring the title of this article to "Outline of arithmetic". I have waited for that discussion to be completed to revert the undiscussed move of this page that occurred on Sept 6th.
Note that this article has been named "Outline of arithmetic" since June 11, 2009, having been renamed from "Topical outline of arithmetic" which it was named since January 8, 2009. All the articles named "Topical outline of" were renamed from "List of basic ... topics" on January 8, 2009 or thereabouts. The entire basic topics department was renamed at that time, because the lists had grown beyond the scope of "basic".
Until the recent rename, this article had never been named "List of arithmetic topics".
Recently, there were a number of mathematics-related lists renamed to outlines by a new editor who rampaged through several departments. Outline of arithmetic was not one of them. See Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics/Archive/2011/Sep#Undiscussed List -> Outline moves.
Apparently during the repair of that mass move, 3 outlines were named to "List of" that were not part of the mass move. This outline was one of the 3.

Back in September I renamed this page to List of arithmetic topics for consistency with other mathematics lists. My reasoning was that the current format of this page is similar to pages such as List of abstract algebra topics and many of the other pages mentioned at Lists of mathematics topics. By contrast, the page Outline of algebraic structures is much more than just a list. Now that this page has been renamed to Outline of arithmetic, I'd like to ask if there is any plan to rewrite this page along the same lines as Outline of algebraic structures.
Cross-reference: the same applies to the pages Outline of discrete mathematics and Outline of combinatorics. Jowa fan ( talk) 07:05, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

" Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation. The Transhumanist 00:03, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
