Yesterday, my kids drew a profile of the ocean floor. They used sonar readings and had to do some multiplication to find the depths of about 20 different points. I told the kids that if they had their own calculators to bring them because I didn't have enough for everyone.
I can't tell you how many kids asked me, "Can we use our cell phones?"
We are in a different generation :)
By the way, they couldn't use their cell phones because it's a school rule that cell phones stay locked in their locker.

I know. It is so crazy! I use my cell all the time to multiply and add. It is pretty handy!
I agree that it's crazy that sooo many kids have cell phones now! I do love to use my calculator on my phone, too. :)
My kids at school want to use their camera phones to take pictures of the board for their homework assignments! : ) Sheesh....
Wow, cell phones, they just solve all our problems don't they!
That is crazy! But so true!!
