Task 1

How to get to your calculator!

To get to your calculator firstly start of by clicking the windows start button at the bottom left of the screen.

 You then want to go to all programs. From there you want to go to accessories. 

Once you open this you will then see a menu for many different accessories, the one we’re looking for is the calculator. It has a symbol of a calculator next to the text to help you find it.
