At what level do you think calculators should be introduced?

You may also give webmath a look.  Math is geared to grade level and need.

I dont think there are ANY advantages.\n\nI condemn use of calculators in primary school. The kids must know how to add, subtract manually, by using their fingers, and most imoortantly BRAIN ! it must develop as they are so young. It will be good for them in the future.\n\nP.S. I have seen 16-18 yr olds finding 2+2 using a calculator.

Well, I'd say start with the basics. Start trying to do things without a calculator. And get a math tutor. Try to find a really good one, who thinks they're up to your challenge. I've had some good math teachers in my time. They can make it fun. I'd suggest someone older like your age. Good luck!

Yes you can. Its not scientific and it is really ugly, but it gets the job done.\n\nTo find it, just go to add content and type in the search box "calculator". You should be able to find it.

What I do is to use my mind before using a calculator.That helps me not become depended on other resources and become lazy.Keep fresh(meaning practice)I say this because,I work with Adults that have forgotten how to do simple fractions.The basic concept of all math is adding,subtracting and fractions,divisions and percentages etc.If you never forget how to do them you'll be fine.Also,they have classes to help young people in math that are free.Like in your community or ask your school counselor.That's how I try to improve.Hopefully someone else,can and will give you other ways.

If you are thinking about majoring in business / commerce the BA-35 is the calculator to go for. The TI 89 is great for all the statistics and higher level math courses including Calculus. However from the business / finance point of view, the BA-35 is a very convenient & necessary tool. It has preprogrammed financial and accounting functions. Interest comversions from annual percentage rate to effective rate. \n\nFor more complex computations in higher level classes and in the professional world you might want to upgrade to a HP 17BII. But definitely get the BA 35 as a start up calculator....

$1267.00 + Tax\n\nOn a serious note: Calculators can just do Arthematic Operations while a computer system can do both Arthematic Operations as well as Logical Operations (AND, OR, XOR, XNOR, NOT, Shift Left Shift Right etc...) and using these Logical Operations speed up the Arthematic Operations.

I own two HP48GX calculators.  One is used for general math, and the other one has a survey card.  Why can't HP keep the same design and make it better.  I don't like their new one.

Before slide rules and adding machines dominated accounting. Until Blaise Pascal invented the digital calculator to help his father with tax collecting.

How will you know if I use a calculator?

I think it has opened so many doors to increasing knowledge for all students.   In our Districts they are teaching students math on the computers.  Remember students have to know how to program them to get the correct answers.   So the computer is not really doing their work.  It does help teachers to be able to access them better.  Plus students can work at their own pacing plan  which allows them to go as fast or as slow as they can.  Additionally we live in the age of electronics.   Our children can have global communication as opposed to when we were in school.  I'd like to see more computers in the classrooms because right now the kids have to share,,,,
