Outclassing your ClassPad
So you’ve got this new calculator. It’s not like the one you were used to…
It’s bigger. It’s got *less* buttons. It’s got a touchscreen. It’s weirder than an Iphone with every single app installed.
And you have to use it…
Well, around about now, you may be considering one of the following options:
- losing it
- breaking it
- leaving it in your locker
- Quitting mathematics and running away to join the circus
Well, there are other options – namely beating it at it’s own game, and making it do maths until it squeals. Making it do the maths you don’t want to…
That sounds more like it. How many times have you had to do things like solving equations (or even… shudder… simultaneous equations)? Fractions? Surds? Finding the equations of lines? Force your calculator to do it so that you don’t have to!
