[ANSWER]
A real comprehension of mathematics comes as a result of understanding what the question is asking, knowing how to set up the problem, deciding which operations are appropriate, and determining whether or not the answer obtained makes sense. Calculators are simply a tool students use to help solve problems. Since they eliminate tedious computations and algebraic manipulations that discourage many students, calculators allow more students to solve problems and appreciate the power and value of mathematics in the world today. When used appropriately, calculators enhance learning and thinking, they do not replace it.
