Calculator:
Students will be provided a Texas Instruments graphing calculator (Ti-84 Plus) for in class/school use. However, students will need a graphing calculator for home use. There are multiple options available to fit all budgets:
Free and/or low cost calculator apps are available for both iPhones and Android devices, as well as Apple and PC computers. Free Apple apps (Calc84) may have limited functionality, but full feature solutions may be available for a minimal cost in Apple store. Android and PC apps have full functionality and are free.
You may choose to purchase a graphing calculator, which your student will likely use throughout high school and college. Graphing calculators can be expensive, and choosing the right one is important (as there are many brands available). Please keep in mind that we will teach and provide support for ONLY Texas Instruments 83 Plus , 84 Plus, and 84 Plus CE calculator models. There are many other brands and models, but they all have different button locations and require different button sequences to achieve various functions. Supporting them all would not be possible or realistic with classroom time constraints.
***If you have any questions about graphing calculators, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Speizer at robert.speizer@wjps.org.
