Here you have several choices about how you want to enter the information to the computer. You can click on the different buttons with your mouse. You can use the regular keyboard numbers or you can use your numeric keypad on the keyboard. To use the numeric keypad you will need to push the Num Lock on the number keypad. When using the numeric keypad you can hit the = sign or hit enter to get the answer to the problem you have entered. I think these options are handy because it enables younger grade school children to use it however they are most comfortable, mouse or fingers.
Start with a simple problem for an example, such as 2 + 2 = ?. I recommend that you have your child do the entering. This way if they have questions they will be able to ask while you are still right there to answer their questions. Once you do the first simple problem, go back and do another. This time though, try experimenting with the clear (CE), Backspace, and C buttons. For these buttons on the calculator you will need to use the mouse. You can also use the arrow and delete keys for backspacing.
The calculator has memory buttons available too. The memory buttons allow you to store and reuse results in a multistep mathmatical problem. To store the current information use the mouse and click on MS. To copy the stored information into the display line where it can be used, click on MR. In order to add the new value into memory click M+. It is important to note here that you can only store one value in memory at a time. When you have something stored in memory an M will show up in a box under the display board.
