Re: Calculators and Science / Math teaching

The state test doesn't explicitly state whether they are required but the time given for the test makes it impossible to finish in time without.

I have seen postings dealing with calculators used in science and Math =
teaching and was curious to know what peoples opinions are. We are =
currently involved in some controversy regarding the use of these at all =
levels of math and science teaching.  I have experienced a lot of =
student ability and see a major reliance on them. Most state test now =
require the use of graphing calculators . If someone was up to date on =
this I would appreciate opinions...
