Abstract

The purpose is this study is to investigate the children's, parents's, teachers consciousness to the use of calculator in mathematics loaming and to analyze the effect of the problem solving and computation ability. The results obtained by this research are as follows: (1) Most adults using calculator by computation tool. but they believed that if children use calculator, computation abilities might be reduced. (2) By using the calculator, We can do the followings : \circled1 to expand the computational ability from written computation to both mental computation and computational estimation, \circled2 to reinforce the problem solving abilities, \circled3 to obtain the interest and the curios on mathematics loaming. Therefore, we must endeavor actively for the broad usage of calculator in the mathematics class
