Great calculator for high school and beyond
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
LOVE this calculator - it has all of the features and similar functionality to the earlier models (TI-81, 82, 83) so anyone familiar with those will have no problem using this model, but it has tons more power, the silver edition in particular. Lots of memory and processing power. You can download everything from day planner/organizer programs to math tutorials to games, just hook it up to your computer using a USB cable (widely available, if not included in your purchase already). For the fashion-conscious, you can change out the faceplate and cover to suit your style, much like some cell phones. So far I haven't come across anything I consider to be a drawback, other than price; they can be quite expensive. Consider buying a used one at the end of a college semester when students are selling them off.
As an algebra teacher, I have long recommended that my students pick up their own graphing calculators, and the TI series is excellent for high school and beyond. It's a bit more than your average middle school student needs, but this model is one that should hold up into college, for most students. (not sure it'd get you through an advanced engineering program...)
Overall, the 84+ silver edition is a great tool and gets high marks from me!
