[quote=Anonymous]Another point on calculators specific to later grades. Whenever there are questions involving pi or a radical they're told to report answers to two decimal digits, etc. But a lot is lost by not just simplifying and writing a symbolic answer. It's not a huge deal just a missed opportunity to practice collecting terms, understand root of a product is the product of the root, etc. This is a big change from the time I was in school. The focus has really moved from calculation to qualitative, theory being students can get further conceptually if they aren't confronted with their computational weakness.[/quote]
