Students have learned to rely on calculators and are having trouble doing basic math on their own without electronic assistance. How can we contract this?

In my own opinion the best way to fix this problem is to give the students more homework and test, online or on paper, but not allow them any type of aid. ]]> 2019-10-28 19:13:03 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403539492 mlcrow559 https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403549451 I feel like we should be teaching our students to not be so dependent on calculators and things that make it easier for them to get answers, like google. I would use a lot of paper and make them work things out like we had to do in Elementary grades. ]]> 2019-10-28 19:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403549451 livienicole98 https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403661780 A great way to fix this problem as a teacher is to start having them do work without using technology so they won't have to rely on it all the time. So when it comes to the things like math they can do the problems without calculators.

Teach them how to complete math problems with paper and pencil so they do not rely on their calculator. ]]> 2019-10-29 04:06:03 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403692050 jclaire347 https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403963270 The best way to combat the need to always use calculators is to not let students use calculators for things they do not need to. Yes, there are some problems that are hard without a calculator, but they are doable. Making sure that students do not start to overuse calculators will stop the dependency on calculators. ]]> 2019-10-29 15:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/403963270 ldchandler92 https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/405926355 If you had the students show their work that could cut down on some calculator use. You could also do most of the work in class so you know they are learning math without the use of calculators or a math website.]]> 2019-11-03 17:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/405926355 cymberann1 https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/406014761 This is a major issue in a large amount of schools around the United States. With this being said, when observing in Mrs.Eason's 4th grade classroom this past semester, I have never seen her allow students any kind of access to a calculator. Especially when it comes to learning math basics, I believe this is vital. It is also a great way to combat this issue. ]]> 2019-11-04 01:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/406014761 7solwalker7 https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/406581242 I've seen student beg and beg to use calculator in math class. They reason about always using a calculator or phone in the real world. I try to always remind them that the calculator becomes a crutch if they jump to it at every opportunity.]]> 2019-11-04 23:02:29 UTC https://padlet.com/knisandine/592ckbihhzvz/wish/406581242
