Shelly in the Country Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 My baby is growing too fast... So I was reading the introduction to Life of Fred: Pre-Algebra 1 with Biology this morning and I see that Dr. Schmidt is allowing the use of calculators with this book. My internal dialogue goes off and says, "Ah yes, I remember being allowed to use a calculator when I hit Pre-Algebra type topics when I was in school." And then, "Oh my! My baby girl is starting Pre-Algebra! Where did the time go?" And then, "Wait, should I be letting her use a calculator for Primary Math as well?" And finally, "Oh crap! I should've picked up one of those cute four function calculators I saw on sale at Staples after all. Now I'm going to have to lend her my scientific calculator." What say you, Singapore moms? Calculators for 6A? 6B? NEM? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I didn't allow DD the Elder easy access a calculator for LoF: Pre-Algebra 1. I don't recall its being necessary, but it is possible I let her use one for one or two problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
