8 Calculator Tips (MG) Press [ MODE ] –All dark areas should be to the left (except very bottom). If any dark area is not to the left, use your arrow keys to arrow down to where you want the dark area and press enter. Press ` !4e –This will turn off plots that graph data. If these happen to be on, your calculator could look a little different and/or give you an error message. Press ! –Clear out any entries that you are not working with C. –To adjust contrast `: or `; Comment The white keys are your number keys along with the decimal point and the negative sign. The _ can only be used as a negative sign. It can NOT be used as an operation sign.

9 Calculator tips (cont.) Comment The gray keys to the right of the numbers are the operation signs. There is no equal sign. However there is an e button that often plays the role of an equal sign. This enter key is a command execution button. Comment If you press the C once, only one line will clear, if you press it twice, the entire screen will clear. Comment If you get lost, press `M which will take you back to the home screen to begin again. Comment If you loose something, press ` e which will retrieve up to 26 entries.

10 Calculator tips (cont.) Comment If you cannot find an operation on the face of the calculator, you may press the m key and look at the different menu options OR you can access the catalog by pressing `0 E xamples Together

14 As one moves north or south of the equator, the distance between the lines of longitude gets shorter until they actually meet at the poles. At 45 degrees N or S of the equator, one degree of longitude is about 49 miles. On a two dimensional map, the lines of latitude and longitude are often used as horizontal and vertical lines thereby creating a Cartesian coordinate system. What would the x and y axes be? Latitude and Longitude as a Rectangular Grid
