They are beneficial to use when students are:
  • exploring patterns
  • conducting investigations
  • testing conjectures
  • solving problems
  • visualizing solutions
Calculators can be used to:
  • develop concepts and enhance problem solving
  • practice basic facts
  • improve student attitudes and motivation
  • prepare for use of calculators in adult life
