Can Calculators negatively affect common math skills? by Hayden Taylor https://padlet.com/haydengill3/knpdnxinmo76 Made with a taste for adventure en-us 2017-04-09 18:57:38 UTC 2017-04-19 19:14:01 UTC hello@padlet.com Answer ehooks https://padlet.com/haydengill3/knpdnxinmo76/wish/165584321 I don't think so, but that all depends on how responsibly they're used. If a student becomes absolutely depended on a calculator then it could be detrimental to their basic math skills, but I think that if they're given frequent opportunities to practice more traditional ways of doing math that they would retain the skills.
