Many educators today would agree to some extent that there has been a shift in mathematics education on many levels and across all grade levels. As a student, one must demonstrate understanding of concepts in mathematics often before one’s brain is developmentally able to comprehend that mathematics is more than procedures or a set of rules to reach a specific solution. The brain of an elementary school student is still being formed, it is constantly absorbing the information around it. Thus, a child’s response to a mathematical inquiry is generally based on his or her current information that can also vary with the activity.
