Abstract
The ‘calculator debate’ refers to an (often heated) exchange of ideas, on the ‘proper’ use of specific forms of hand-held technology in mathematics instruction and the assessment of learning, that has been ongoing for decades. This chapter considers issues in this debate in three sections. The first section positions ‘the calculator’ within ‘portable hand-held computational technology’ and reviews calculator use, the research literature on the use of the calculator and the ‘calculator debate’ itself. The second section considers the calculator with regard to Wertsch’s (Mind as action, Oxford, England, 1998) ten properties of mediated action. The last section speculates on a possible future of the calculator debate.
