Typically, by the time they reach upper middle school to high school, many of them have already determined that they are no good at math and that the only mathematics they'll ever need their calculator can do for them. You and I both know, that those assumptions are completely false. Anyone can do math if they put enough effort into it and have a good teacher (the fact that you are taking the time to find new and interesting ways to teach mathametics to your students tells me that you are one of these teachers). And, as far as calculators go, they can't do it all (although they can do quite a bit nowadays). Besides, calculators only do what their user tells them to do. If your students don't have a mastery of the operations their calculator is to perform, how will they know they're using the right ones? Moreover, even if they're using the correct operations, how will your students know they are using them correctly and in the correct sequence?
