Abstract
The proliferation of information and information technology demands educational change, especially in mathematics. The emphasis must shift from mere acquisition to the use of information to deepen mathematical understanding and appreciation. The NCTM 's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards (1989) envisions a new curriculum. Among its goals are the development of “mathematical power,” or “numeracy” (National Research Council 1989) and an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematic (NCTM 1989). Mathematics instruction must not merely expand students' knowledge of mathematics but must also foster intellectual courage and a set of positive personal attitudes, or dispositions, that enable and empower students.
