Certainly computers/calculators are useful sometimes (in particular when analyzing measured data), but for say 95% of mathematics, pen+paper seems appropriate?

Certainly computers/calculators are useful sometimes (in particular when analyzing measured data), but for say 95% of mathematics, pen+paper seems appropriate? Taught properly, it's a highly pictorial subject and pen+paper is an extremely flexible medium.

I am building systems in these areas for my students, but they're offline (they print out and automatically grade worksheets to track student competence in areas).
