课下能力提升(五) 阅读理解 A Many parents are beginning to demand less technology use in the primary classroom due to the amount of screen time children have at home. This raises the question about whether technology in the classroom helps or stops learning. We often hear complaints that children have lost the ability to carry out simple calculations (计算) because of the reliance on calculators in primary schools. This is not the case. In fact, calculators are not a significant feature of primary school maths lessons. When calculators are used in primary classrooms, its usually to help children develop number sense or to study number patterns and relationships. It allows them to apply their knowledge of place value and other number related concepts rather than using a traditional method. In Australia, the use of digital technologies in the primary maths classroom is not an option. To change the situation, the government has taken measures to make it feasible for teachers to apply technologies in all subject areas. Fortunately, schools have access to more powerful, affordable devices than ever before. These are the same devices that many children have already had access to at home. In a recent research evaluation of the Matific digital resources, the students found that they enjoyed using the resources on iPads and computers, and went from thinking about maths as something boring to something that is fun to learn. The children also voluntarily started to use their screen time at home to do maths. Pre-test and post-test data also showed improved scores. Many would consider that the use of mobile devices in maths would consist of simple game playing. The appearance of many low-quality apps makes it hard for children to get learning chances. Luckily, theres much that teachers can do and are doing with technology. Just as the world has changed, the mathematics classroom has also changed. When it comes to technology in the classroom, its all about balance. 语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在小学数学学习
