““The goal of mathematics should be The goal of mathematics should be totoproduce learners who are both produce learners who are both mathematically mathematically competentcompetent and and cconfidentonfident. This does not come from . This does not come from merely memorizing rules and merely memorizing rules and procedures, but from understanding procedures, but from understanding relationships and knowing you can relationships and knowing you can make sense of information and make sense of information and situations you encounter.”situations you encounter.”
