Quote:When I did my O Levels (back in 1981) we weren't allowed calculators partly due to the cost being prohibitive for some people, but mostly due to "mathematical snobbery" (Slide Rules and Log Tables were good enough for me and my father and grandfathers...!)Did my O levels in 71 :eek
Helped my grandson with his Maths homework this week. He's 11 and just started seniors. All about maths principles - brackets, integers, negative numbers etc. No calculators allowed. There is hope yet.
We also tried a bit of French homework, but quickly lapsed into Del Boy phrases :lol
