Summary

Outlines an effective numeracy program using calculators in a Papua New Guinea classroom. Contends that mental arithmetic capabilities, estimation skills, and a calculator form a solid foundation for continuing math education. Estimates help develop a number sense of utmost importance to functional math. While a calculator cannot replace "number sense," it can bolster areas of weakness for students.
