(For a printable pdf copy of this document, click here.) Algebra 1 – no calculator is required Scientific Calculator ● any calculator that has the following keys – sin, cos, tan, log ● most cost under $20 Recommended Graphing Calculators ● TI-83+ - can be found for around $75 – $100 ● TI-84+ - can be found for around $95 – $120 - advantages: built in USB port, 2x as fast as the 83+ ● TI-84+ silver - can be found for around $115 – $140 - advantages: same as 84+ but with more memory and many more downloadable applications ● TI-89 - can be found for around $150 - advantages: same as 84+ silver but with much more built in functions and capability including a function solver and the ability to solve and simplify problems symbolically - disadvantages: much more difficult to learn how to use than the others – NOT for the timid ● TI-Nspire - can be found for around $135-$160 - advantages: the newest model, much faster, much bigger screen, - disadvantages: cost, for calculus the TI-89 is still a bit more capable For additional help, see the TI website http://education.ti.com/ Casio graphing calculators are less expensive than the TI graphing calculators but are a little more difficult to use and are much more difficult to program. (Algebra 2 Honors and Calculus are the only two classes where the students will be expected to program their calculators, however.) |
