Abstract
Today's students are learning in a much different school environment than students of the past. Although students most likely appreciate the fact that computers and calculators have taken over the drudgery of pencil and paper calculations in mathematics, this presents a pedagogical dilemma for teachers. Since the commencement of formal education, mathematics curriculum has focused on the memorization of basic facts and simple procedures. Now the ability to think creatively and critically necessitates equal emphasis in the mathematics classroom as the ability to manipulate numbers (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM], 1991 ).
