Educational Insights See n Solve Visual Calculator
This brightly colored calculator with an over-sized LCD screen is the perfect child-friendly tool for reinforcing basic math skills. The simple four-function calculator sets up the problem exactly as young students are taught to write it out. As they carry out addition, subtraction, multiplication and division problems, the display window shows the entire problem -- not just the last number entered. A great way to introduce elementary school children to using calculators for more difficult problem-solving. Requires 2 "AA" batteries (not included).

Customer Reviews
Good concept, poor execution
I am pleased that other people have found this calculator useful. However, I cannot recommend it. I see two major problems with it. The most obvious is the very poor quality of the screen. The lines that make the digits and math symbols are too thin, too light, and very hard to read. I cannot understand why they would make a calculator for young children with such a truly terrible digital display. The cheapest calculator on the rack at the drug store has a better display than this one. The second problem is that it gives the answer to division problems as decimals rather than as remainders. There *are* calculators that give remainders instead of decimals. Such a feature would be suitable for such a calculator as this one, which is clearly designed for the early grades. The concept behind this calculator is a great one. The calculator itself, however, is poorly designed.
Great for 1st and 2nd grade
I love the fact that this calculator puts the equations in the form they are learning in school. You actually get to see the equation, not just the answer. AND it shows the dividing "bridge" in division, not the dash with dots over/under it.
I think it helps my son see the equations in a form that is meaningful because it's how his teacher does it & how it is on his homework. He's 6 & thinks it is fun to just sit around & practice with equations, testing himself before he hits equal for the answer. Glad I bought it.
Great Calculator
I purchased this calculator my my special needs child and it has been great. Simple, easy to use and see what she is really doing. I would recommend this item to others.
