"Teaching math is different from teaching arithmetic. Teaching
aritmetic involves computation, manipulating numbers. Teaching math
means teaching meaning. Knowing math means being able to use it in
purposeful ways. When students construct personal knowledge derived
from experiences, they are much more likely to retain and use what
they have learned." Marilyn Burns
Drill does not develop meaning. Repetition does not lead to
understanding." Brownell
