Understanding "Understanding."
Davis, Robert B.
Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v11 n3 p225-42 Sep 1992
Discusses a new approach to mathematics education that moves away from methods that tell students what to do and toward methods that help students build mental representations of mathematical concepts. Contrasts the previous and emerging views and examines aspects of the new approach. (26 references) (MDH)
