ab: Summary: During my courses for mathematics major students I often use
    technology linked to the arising problems. In such cases I noted that
    some students were used to learn just some procedures, which made them
    able to solve (partially) some problems and when they got the result,
    they accepted it passively and did not relate it to the initial
    problem. In this paper I outline a strategy and investigate some simple
    exercises about how to develop a critical attitude towards the results
    obtained by technology in an introductory course to CAS. I believe that
    wise use of technology offers an effective method in teaching
    mathematics, without reducing the students’ mental contribution.
