You won't always have a calculator with you.
They used to deliver this line with so much sass
I was told this while wearing a calculator watch.
i wonder if this ever keeps any math teachers up at night. how wrong they were about this
I was carrying not one but two programmable Casio GFX 9850 graphics calculators with me pretty much all the time. You could write some kind of Basic-ish code on these things. Neat machines, considering their age.
Can play games on them to, including clones of pacman, Doom, Super Mario land and pong.
Yeah, we wrote a racer game for that thing. Loved it!
My class was repeatedly threatened for using more than one finger on a calculator to solve chemistry equations. “If I see those Nintendo thumbs…”
I'm in first year of university and we use calculator for everything except math, but math we do is actually easy that you don't need calculator.
Yeah, this line survived a lot longer than it should have.
Yes, I'm currently typing on a device that can function as a calculator
Maths teachers should really be saying that they're teaching us how to do maths on a calculator
I'm horrible at maths though probably because of my autism spectrum disorder
I've only improved in areas of maths where I've self taught myself mental shortcuts to do it in my head
School helped somewhat with the Autism accommodations here in Australia but not that much, I find making my own accommodations and self teaching myself years later is way better than the accommodations provided by my school
They really should take student feedback in a lot more
