Teo, One of the "features" of Mathematica is that it does a lot of elementary evaluation and doesn't show you the steps. In some cases it uses internal methods and you wouldn't even what to see the steps. Still, it is possible to do calculations in a more controlled manner. There are a couple of notebooks and a package at my web site that may help you. The StepByStepEquations notebook shows how to solve equations step by step using pure functions and map. The ExpressionManipulation package and the accompanying EvaluationTutorial notebook has routines for evaluating expressions in a controlled manner. There are many examples from addition of fractions to integration by parts.
