1. Don’t stress out about the expensive calculator! See the “Alternatives” slide if you don’t wish to purchase one.

3. I have seen these calculators for anywhere between $128 (on Amazon) to $165 (don’t remember where…) The average price was around $135, so don’t spend more than that. These are the calculators that Winter Park High School also uses – yay! One to last you 5 years!

4. The one you will be getting (the NON-CAS version) is also allowed on the SAT, ACT, AP and IB assessments. The CAS version is NOT allowed on some tests, such as the ACT and AP tests.

6. Alternatives to purchasing a calculator for home use: Use the class set when you are in class, use the internet when you are at home. On my website are ti-84 emulator download instructions. We won’t be using these in class but it may be the better than an online graphing calculator.
