and wenig später, im gleichen Kapitel:

„These developments have very great implications for the teaching of many subjects ih schools. So far as the teaching of mathematics is concerned, we believe that there are two fundamental matters which need to be considered. The first concerns the ways in which calculators and microcomputers can be used to assist and improve the teaching of mathematics in the classroom. The second concerns the extent to which the availability of calculators and microprocessors should change the content of what is taught or the relative stress which is placed on different topics within the mathematics syllabus...“ (374, S. 109).
