[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Kids need to be able to multiply, divide, add and subtract without thinking about it and without a calculator. It should be a split second response. Then and only then are the prepared to move on to higher math. If you don't have a solid foundation, their understanding of math from here on out will suffer. [/quote] American kids could perform these tasks before the days of calculators decades ago. Kids going to school today in poorer countries without calculators can also perform these tasks. Perhaps this may explain who is getting advanced degrees in mathematics, engineering and physics today ... without the fears of dropping out and insecure inferiority.[/quote] I have an advanced Math degree and I disagree with you completely.[/quote]
