Proceeding contribution from Elizabeth Truss (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Calculators in Schools.
Calculators in Schools
Does the Minister agree that understanding basic operations enables one to check calculations? For example, when purchasing an item or considering a mortgage, people can check whether their calculator is right, which provides a sense check. When people have those basic skills, they are equipped for all such difficult situations in later life.
