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 Review: 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.
Customer Review: Grandson loves this calculator!
The See N Solve Visual Calculator is really useful for helping young ones who are just learning their math skills. To actually see the problem on the screen is very productive to understanding what the child is doing. I, as a grandmom, had a hard time pushing the numbers, but that may be just me, because my grandson has no problem at all. I would recommend this as a gift or an aid to help with math.
