Dependency on calculators has stopped the progress of math's skill in growing up children. They are not even able to perform a simple math's calculation in their heads without calculators. Elizabeth Truss, the Conservative MP for South West Norfolk, said the development was leaving English children lagging behind peers in other countries that place strict curbs on the use of calculators in primary schools. Ministers are told to place a greater emphasis on old-fashioned mental arithmetic to make children more "financially literate". We are in danger of producing a new generation of students overly reliant on calculators. In Massachusetts, the top-performing US state for math's education, the curriculum states that pupils should learn how to perform basic sums without resorting to calculators.
