Calculators may help a students’ growth in knowledge at an earlier age, with calculators, a student may learn mathematical concepts such as long division at lower grade levels. If a student has a choice whether he or she would like to use a calculator, that student would most likely finish his or her homework more expediently, and would have a better chance of receiving a more accurate grade. Over the years, the use of calculators continues to increase. The reasoning for this, I believe is because it basically proves that a student knows what he or she is doing by how they do on their grades. For instance, in a survey of 600 colleges and universities, 85% of mathematic classes had the opportunity to use calculators. In a survey of 146 middle and high schools, 74% of students could use calculators. Although it turns out to be true that calculators sometimes seem to be used when a student does not know how to do the math problem by hand.
this is only part of what i did..
