The New Curriculum for Mathematics

Knowing, learning, understanding are not linear... A field of knowledge, such as mathematics, is a territory, and knowing is not just a matter of knowing all the items in the territory, but of knowing how they relate to, compare with, and fit in with each other... It is the difference between knowing the names of all the streets in a city and being able to get from any place, by any desired route to another place" Holt, J. (1984), How children fail
