What is Cambridge Academics’ opinion on the use of calculators?
A calculator, particularly a graphing calculator, can be a wonderful mathematical tool when students are taught to use it in the correct way. Many standardised tests such as the ACT, SAT, SAT II and AP Calculus require the use of calculators for certain types of questions. The tutors at Cambridge Academics are stalwart proponents of the use of technology and learning by investigation. A scientific or graphing calculator can provide an essential mechanism for many innovative approaches to learning.
