Lead Speaker:
James R. Olsen
Students making informed choices between mental math, paper and pencil, and calculator or technology methods is not as easy as one might think. The speaker will look at three factors that students and citizens need to consider when choosing a calculation method. He will also address teachers' considerations and the two-part, calculator-and-no-calculator test.
