The Watermelon group have been doing some maths with calculators recently. They have learnt that even though calculators can solve number problems, they can't think for themselves.
When you're using a calculator you need to ask "Does that answer sound right to me?" If you tap in the wrong numbers or press the wrong operation buttons that calculator doesn't know - it just tells you the answer to what ever you typed in. Today they wrote a flow chart.
Tricky maths looks like magic - that's cool! Room 17
