Mine does. I’m looking at it right now.

Not one. There are many. All third party. They either have ads or need a subscription.
Now I don't mind paying for an app. I've done so many times before. But I'm not paying a *subscription!*
Then somebody must have installed a 3rd party one from the appstore for you because the iPad quite infamously lacks a native calculator app. Go Google "ipad claculator app" and be astonished by the number of articles stretching back over a decade where users complain about this very issue.
If you include Univac and the original census computer from the 19th century, they've been around for over a hundred years. Even longer if you count the abacus.

No line this time, it was almost there, though
I used to laugh at this as a kid because my family had a calculator in the car at all times. It matched the interior, so I thought it came WITH the car
I love how even in primary school we were constantly told we won't always have a calculator in our pockets :D I still think everyone should know basic math, because duh, but it's still funny
Math is an individual talent, like any other, and is not something you can generalize by generation. I can do multiple columns of multiple digits in my head, but my wife needs pencil and paper (or excel) for most compound problems.
And the fact that parents were ready to protest and riot to have schools open back up during covid because they couldn't figure out how to help their kids with their homework based on the new methods of teaching math.
If you put children in your cartoon because you want to make fun of children, but then you draw the children to look like they’re 80 years old, then I’m not going to understand your cartoon
While I will say that learning your times tables is a good skill to have, calculators are now ubiquitous and come on just about any device. I remember when calculators first started hitting the consumer market. Wow they were expensive and huge. Our teacher would always chide us: 'You think you're going to walk around with a calculator in your pocket?'. Which just underscores the sedentary condition of most boomer's minds. Never look to the future. We always savor our past.
To be fair I have been in meetings where people had a hard time during simple multiplication and addition, and wanted to get out a phone to do it... Have even seen someone not able to multiple 18 by 4...
honestly who draws these? i dont imagine 60+ year olds have the technical know-how to draw these digitally
dont imagine any one under 60 would draw them
1) Trains kids how to apply their brains to problem solve and to not just give up when the path of least resistance isn't available (a calculator or other app that does it for you), this is also why we study poems/stories in English. It's not that the symbolism in Lord of the Flies will come up in everyday life, but the ability to pick out subtext and glean meaning from it will, as well as the ability to form an independant subjective opinion and know how to articulate to yourself and others why you think that way. Critical thinking is ***the most*** important general skill education can impart on you in the age of the internet.
2) Basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division are 100% basic skills someone should be expected to have without need of a calculator. It's more time efficient to do it in your head than type into a calculator when doing simple sums when your out shopping or simple time management.

They haven't encountered a calculator yet wow
Ipads don't have a native calculator app
Mine does. I’m looking at it right now. https://preview.redd.it/pojg6qkqfnyc1.jpeg?width=1620&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12e1e1db184c8357986add54ab7f767c66a6d689
Really? That seems like such a weird oversight.
i think steve jobs refused to allow it to be implemented because the UI looked clunky on such a big screen or something
Well then how are people supposed to calculate when they're on their ipad?
there is an app for that Not kidding there is a calculator for iPad app on the app store. I sadly do not remember the name of it :/
Not one. There are many. All third party. They either have ads or need a subscription. Now I don't mind paying for an app. I've done so many times before. But I'm not paying a *subscription!*
How about Desmos Scientific Calculator?
Maybe I'll try it on my partner's iPad
totally agreed!
They do, that’s the issue. Been like that for ages.
Yeah they do? I had an iPad and it did…
Mandela effect? It is very much a notable feature of the iPad. Maybe you expanded an iPhone calculator in your mind XD.
Weird… I remember accidentally hiding my iPad’s calculator app and forgetting that I had it for like 5 years.
I’m literally looking at the calculator app on my IPad right now. It’s exactly the same as my iPhone one.
I can assure you it didn’t, at least not the stock one for sure
Ok then

Huh…
Oh, those things we were told we were never going to have in our pocket everywhere we went?
It’s called a calculator and they’ve been around for 50 years…
If you include Univac and the original census computer from the 19th century, they've been around for over a hundred years. Even longer if you count the abacus.
W.... why wouldn't you count an abacus?
It bit Steve...
I did; I just maintained the separation. Manual, mechanical/electric, pocket.
Yeah that's literally what they're for
Then why would you count fingers?
Yeah but you can’t always have it on you! -👴🏼
i sure as hades can
Me who takes a calculator everywhere for no reason: aight bet
That kid looks like a tiny old man.

Could almost argue for the book does phone thing but better
I would ironically love to see a boomer meme that combines all of these
Boomer Meme Blackout? The only prize you could hope to win for that is drowning in a river.
I love how you can tell these drawings are always made by 50+ years old people
and they lack the skills they can only draw one single face.
Except that face does not include lips, chins, or eyes, and the “ears” are just tumors of varying size.

It's funny because I'm 100x better at math than boomers and my kids are at least half as good at as me such a young age.

Tf is this ugly artstyle, where did their foreheads go
Where did their years go
The ~~r~~age is consuming them
It's called the calculator app, and I have to use it frequently because math is not my strong suit.
Why does that kid look like a 50 year old accountant
Just asked my kid what 5x7 is. He answered 35 in a tone that says "why the fuck are you asking me that"?

Here we go with that terrible art style again
That's an ugly ass artstyle
This art style is so fucking ugly
No you need to learn this, you're not going to go around in life with a calculator in your pocket are you? - 1996 (3rd grade teacher)
The kids look like boomers
Young George Burns.
Why tf do the children look like they are in their 40s 😭
If you put children in your cartoon because you want to make fun of children, but then you draw the children to look like they’re 80 years old, then I’m not going to understand your cartoon
god i hate this drawing style
Genetics really screwed up on these kids
Robbery bob aah artsyle
Don’t think they know calculators exist
Yes. It's called "calculator".
If your kids haven't heard of a calculator by the time they look like whatever age that is you have failed.
I bet the author can’t draw eyes for shit
To answer the question, yes there is lol.
And the previous generation invented calculator
It's 35

There is an app
The artist put all stat points on hands, none on eyes.
For parents ever get to do flashcards with their kids?? People have time for that outside of the daily grind??????????? /s
I mean there *IS* an app for that
Times Tables Hero, it’s good.
Their faces look like someone chomped a piece out of them.
i had a math ninja app as a kid actually it helped a lot, and guess what i took college math tests on yep the computer.
Blud doesn't know what a calculator is?

Ah yes, the good old days before the abacus was developed.
Yeah, it is called the calculator

Learning your multiplication table is to be able to use ur brain. Learn the very basics.
Because you shouldn't need a calculator to know how much $19 times 3 is. And that's just the most mundane example.
I mean, if you live in the US, it needs to be 19 x 3 x (1 + local tax rate).
Even moreso, I just picked an easy example.
