The school doesn’t allow students to use calculators in class or in exams. Do you agree or disagree?
1.数学课的目的是教会学生运算过程,并为其他学科打基础。
2.使用计算器只能得出结果,完全失去了上数学课的意义。
I agree and I think it’s a good idea that calculators are not allowed in class or in exams. The point of having math class is that students learn how to add, divide, multiply and subtract. It lays the foundation for other more complicated subjects, like chemistry and physics. The bad thing about calculators is that they only give you a result, not the steps that are involved in the calculation. And the steps are precisely what teachers want students to learn, so calculators completely defeat the purpose of teaching math to students and it’s essentially cheating when calculators are used in exams.
我同意,我认为课堂上和考试中不允许使用计算器是一个好主意。上数学课的目的是让学生们学习加减乘除,为其他更复杂的学科打下基础,比如说化学和物理。计算器的缺点是它只给你一个结果,而不给你计算的步骤。而这些步骤正是老师希望学生们去学习的,所以计算器完全违背了教学生数学的目的,而且在考试中使用计算器本质上是在作弊。
