Calculator Dependency -- A Deadly Malpractice!

in #education6 years ago (edited)

Calculator is a heaven-sent invention that is very much useful for the battle of students with numbers. It can solve simple equations to the complex ones. It is much evident that most students cannot live a day in their complex mathematics subjects without this tool. Having too attached and dependent, students' dilemma doubled as simple mathematical computations are done using the calculator even if it is doable without relying to such thing.

Why does this matter raises much attention? It is because necessary computations are done through the calculators and the process of which are forgotten which intensifies the problem. Try to ask a random student if he/she can add dissimilar fractions or maybe getting the 4th power of a decimal. Their ability of doing so depends on their knowledge and much of its understanding deteriorates as the dependency intensifies.

This problem at hand must not reach its peak so that its damage may still be bearable.

Good Day ahead steemians!
