Ideas for class

  • Estimate first, then check with the calculator.
  • Read a big answer aloud from the words under the number.
  • Check homework: do the sum by hand, then confirm it here.
  • Find the steps for a chain, like 12 + 5 × 3.
  • Try dividing by zero and talk about why it cannot be done.

Questions

How big can the numbers be?

You can type up to nine digits, and answers go up to hundreds of billions.

Can I use the keyboard?

Yes. Number keys, + − * /, Enter, Backspace and Escape all work.

Does it work out a chain like 2 + 3 × 4 in the usual order?

It does each step as you go, left to right, and shows every step. That is how a simple calculator works.
