[QUOTE="Aaron, post: 1625709, member: 1682"] I can barely remember how to do written math. Can't remember long division at all. I do however remember an argument I had with teacher in grade 4 about using a calculator versus using paper and pen. I said it was pointless to waste time learning to do it when a calculator does it in fraction of time. She maintained, well you won't always have a calculator. Then in grade 9, teacher always wanted calculator used. Speed and efficiency is the name of the game in the future. And written long division is only as good as the individual's math skills. Pen and paper is a thing of the past. Flash forward almost 30 years. I always have had a calculator on me, hardly ever paper. [/QUOTE]
