A calculator is a couple of orders of magnitude cheaper than a phone. Single vs triple digits.

Nope, the wabbit emu is for replacing a TI graphing calculator which is north of ~$150 in the US. Still cheaper than a phone, but only a third or so the price of my daily driver at the time of purchase.

This is an article about Quebec. Do students in Quebec need this kind of tool?

[–] offspec@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

It's a pretty standard tool to assist with learning any math beyond algebra, and was a requirement in both my uni and high school classes. I'm fortunate enough to have gone to a high school where there were plenty of calculators provided by the school, but the major exams like the SAT and whatnot did not provide one and would also not have allowed phones.
