Basic mental math saves time and it exercises a part of the brain that other academics cannot. I really would have to know what kind of math those kids are doing that requires a calculator. ]]> 2019-04-11 22:16:48 UTC https://padlet.com/bryannabur/d23a366s9kao/wish/350986909 hperronne1219 https://padlet.com/bryannabur/d23a366s9kao/wish/350987353 I honestly know multiple people who can't perform addition or simple multiplication, much less be able to determine a tip for a waiter or waitress. 
If we instill this knowledge early on, hopefully students can retain the skill into their futures.

Learning how to do these will help them later on in life. ]]> 2019-04-11 22:35:21 UTC https://padlet.com/bryannabur/d23a366s9kao/wish/350989774 bryce_masters65 https://padlet.com/bryannabur/d23a366s9kao/wish/350989851 I think elementary aged students should not use calculators in math because this allows students to rely on their calculator instead of their brain. This does not help the student to truly understand the topic]]> 2019-04-11 22:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bryannabur/d23a366s9kao/wish/350989851
