How do YOU feel? Should students be allowed to use the fancy graphing calculators in their high school Math classes?
Do you use a calculator when doing things with numbers? Or do you pull out a pencil and paper and do long multiplication by hand? Long division by hand? Add columns of numbers by hand?
If you were to be handed a fancy graphing calculator, would you even begin to have a clue how to use it?
Should high school and college students of the 21st Century be using these fancy calculators in their classes? Or are we handicapping them?
I would love to get your feedback on this. I have my own opinions, which I plan to share in a few articles ... but I would like to know how the general public feels about "Calculators or Not?"
