Do Elementary School students typically need graphing calculators?
Elementary schools typically teach K-5th grade. 5th Graders are reaching a point in their education where they are just beginning to understand decimals and fractions. Graphing calculators are used for higher level math work including complex equations and functions. Students are usually introduced to functions in late middle or high school math.
