Unfortunately, the Zillow people are too innumerate (or think their readers are) to use a log scale for the y-axis, but the graphs are still a nice addition to the question. They also point out that the recent “crash” in housing prices only dropped the prices back about 4 years, just chopping off the bubble, not the steady rise in housing prices.

What is your view of the role that calculator use plays with regard to student development of number sense, especially integer operations?
