[quote=Anonymous]I should know better than to start a thread about math here. The article wasn't about calculators. It wasn't about blaming teachers. It was about curriculum and testing. And what it means to learn something -- e.g. the difference between memorizing an algorithm and being able to generate the correct answer from it vs. understanding why a particular algorithm works and how/when you use it. Or another way to put it might be the difference between math facts and mathematical thinking.[/quote]
