Helps children develop number sense in a confident, flexible way (Sparrow & Swan, 2001, p. 11). Helps to eliminate tedious and time consuming computations and helps reduce children’s anxiety about being able to do computations correctly (Reys et al., 2009, p. 118) Helps to focus students attention on meaning (Reys et al., 2009, p. 220) Helps children solve more complex problems or problems with realistic data (Reys et al., 2009, p. 118). • Helps children develop mathematical ideas and understand connections, relationships and patterns (Sparrow & Swan, 2001, p. 11). Objective 3 Outline key features of effective calculator use in ECE/primary mathematics classrooms to support and enhance mathematics learning. Computers special functions can help children explore mathematical objects, concepts and operations (Reys et al., 2009, p. 118,220) • Acquaints children with technology(Sparrow & Swan, 2001, p. 11). Improves students self concept and attitude towards mathematics (Reys et al., 2009, p. 218) Provides opportunities to practice and develop place value concepts (Reys et al., 2009, p. 169) Responds to national standards (Australian Curriculum)
