I'm 26. I started to be allowed to use a calculator when the adding, subtracting,ect... didn't matter as much as the process you used. For example if there was a problem where you had to multiply two numbers, add another, then divide,ect... we were allowed to use a basic calculator to save time in all of the steps involved. We were still fucked if we did not know what steps went where, ect...
6th grade seems early to me, but I went to a Catholic Elementary/Middle School, so what do know?
