 hey have found in preservice teachers' computational skills and understand
 ings. To assess students’ computational skills\, they administered pretest

 s and computational facility on the whole numbers\, fractions\, decimals a
 nd integers. The results they found were astonishing and worse than ever b
 efore\, and they have found that they get worse each succeeding semester.\
