Calculator Tricks

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Kids love calcultor tricks. Youngsters like to form words that appear when you turn the calculator upside down. This trick is a bit more heady, in that it describes a unique phenomenon that holds true with virtually any four-digit number. The slides take pupils through the steps necessary to discover this entertaining mathematical feat. Highly recommended for upper elementary and middle school pupils.
