Mathematical "Trick" with a Calculator

 I have to admit I am not a great fan of too much Technology with children, as I believe students learn best by doing, talking about what they have been doing and then writing(in maths language).

DO

SAY

WRITE 

It is difficult for me to understand how students can learn to Measure if all they have is a Tablet in their hand. Measurement is about Stepping, Holding, Weighing(Balance scale) etc.

That said her is a Fun Calculator Activity for you to try on your students or children.   After repeating it a number of times you may wish to ask them to see if they can work out "why it works."

Enjoy.
