do you have a graphing calculator? Options

[littlewhite]

i am getting a new graphing calc soon it's required for algebra 2 in my freshman year.
which graphing calc is the best and the price is affordable? (TI only)

[ikayto]

Any Ti is good for all types of maths; but i have the ti-84 PLUS. It's the newest one with revamped buttons and stuff. It comes with a usb cable to load cool games and apps ;p.

My teacher said you dont even need a graphing calcular for alg. 2 and she's right. We hardly ever needed to graph anything on our calcs; it's just easier w/ a graph calc to do numbers.

[Spirited Away]

I have two.

[inthemudhole]

No, but I'm planning on buying one this summer. They're required for geometry.

[*stephinika*]

yeah, you need it for math 11 and up.

[WhiteLotus*]

No, but I'm planning on buying one this summer. They're required for geometry.

Thanks for the headsup, Brie.

I don't have one, but I have an Algebraeic one. Oh my gosh it's so confusing! SO MANY BUTTONS!

[gOODpIRATE]

i dont have one...yet. next year i will for geometry. i'm a freshman right now, but i am still in algebra. you see, out here, they split up algebra 1 into two years, algebra 1a in 8th grade, and algebra 1b freshman year. argh...i hate that class.

[heyyfrankie]

i have a TI-83. =/

[lilnatcat]

Lucki, u guys are allowed graphing calculators!! I see some around but those kind of calculators aren't allowed in our exams so we have to hand draw it...........damnit.........calculators which memorise formulas and all that stuff we're not allowed, we're required to use only to buy some calculators.

[jnukes]

yeah, i have one .. my brother gave me his old one [[ TI-83 ]] cause i needed it for my Algebra class.

[XaZnX07]

yes i have the ti84 plus
muahahha
.:tony:.

[*mzkandi*]

I dont have my own graphing calc yet but I will need to buy one since I am taking a Statistics class in the summer

[cocoalightning27]

yea I have a ti-84 silver edition......lol mostly I just play games on it...haha

[Nicolatofu]

Hmm.. i believe it's the TI-84 plus silver edition. I love it because you can buy cool colorful faaceplates for it, and it has a clock

[*autumn.*]

My TI-89 TITANIUM eats your TI-84's, +'s or not. :)

No really.

I have a TI-83+ and a TI-89 Titanium. I use both when I do math homework, haha.

[KERP1UNK]

nope, I dont need one yet, luckily!

[Eryi]

I use mine, TI-84 Plus! I installed games and so, I take a little break in my school. I'm in 8th grade and already i need it.

[Im So Vain]

Yeah Im in Math Analysis so its required. I dont really no how to use it that well though. Because last year in Algebra I didnt have one, so I borrowed my teachers in class. Mine is a TI-83 Plus.

[smile4me]

i liek the 89 one

[*AngelicEyz00*]

The TI-89 is relaly useful becausee it solves equations for you and you can graph bot y= and x= equations. I still have my TI-83 though... I need a new one. Costco sells them for like 100 dollars... hmm

[Freakerr]

I'm in algebra II currently and i have a TI-84 Silver Edition. i looooooo<3ooove it. i have a buncha programs to figure out stuff like area of prisms.. all i have to do is enter in the l, w, h etc. it's Cooooool. so worth it.

[silver-rain]

I have a TI-83 Plus. The TI-84 Plus ones look cool.

[sadolakced acid]

83+. need an 89 titanium for BC cal.

[*tweeak*]

no, but i need one

[*mona lisa*]

I have two TI-83+. One was $100, the other was free.

[KissMe2408]

Yah, i have one. It was mandatory for the math i was taking. but i'm letting one of my friends borrow it for the moment, it costs around $80. ehh,,,80 dollars for a calculator! lol,

[*Azarel*]

TI-84+ Silver Edition, biatch.

[ChasingLife87]

TI-83 PLUS and I LOVE it! I would have failed pre-calc without it!

(plus... you can store all kinds of stuff in those things... )

[*suddenly she*]

ti 83, 84+, 85, and 89. haha. i recommend the 84+. 89 can pretty much just do your work for you.

[separatewings]

TI-89.

[sumipark]

my brother has one and i use it. does that count?

[SkaironFrenzy]

i either lost my first ti-83 or someone stole it ... but i got a new one

[Rachel]

Meh, I don't know what one I have but it was a pretty penny. Alas, it is quite helpful <3

[hi-C]

I'm on my third. I lost the first and the second got stolen.

[heyyfrankie]

The TI-89 is relaly useful becausee it solves equations for you and you can graph bot y= and x= equations. I still have my TI-83 though... I need a new one. Costco sells them for like 100 dollars... hmm

all i have is a ti-83 but i wish i had the ti-89 because it would really be helpful to have x=

[*autumn.*]

The most spiffy part about the 89, I think, is that it derives and integrates stuff for you.

[ANG33ZY]

noo. i'm gonna need one soon. tho

[JustPeachy]

No, but I'm planning on buying one this summer. They're required for geometry.

required for geometry? really I never used one...not a real one, I kind of have a half graphing calculator. It dose everything I've needed for Chemistry, it's just half the size. I'll get one next year though >.< alg2

[chocolateaficion...]

I want one.
My teacher has an overhead graphing calculator.
When he was showing it to us and how it worked everyone was so amazed. AHHAA.

[CHOKEandDIEx]

No, but I want one. It'd help a lot on my math homework.

[starlette]

I needed my graphic calculator all the time for geometry and algebra 2. I have a TI 82 plus, but I only got that so I could be cool like everyone else and put games on there lol. I got mine pretty cheap from home depot.

[MetalChick77]

I need one for my class right now, but i never got it because im not spending $100 on a stupid calculator. Class ends in one month anyways.

[Chaos13]

T1-84 plus and T1-89 <-- dont use much cuz i can't find it in my room

[taiwanesegurl]

what i don't get is WHY it's required in HS.. in all my college math classes, calculators are NOT ALLOWED.. u gotta graph everything by hand.. even the 2-D graphs.. for my HARDEST math class, we weren't even allowed a friggin cheat sheet..

but in HS they force u to become so dependent on a calculator that it totally screw people over in college!!

and they only let u use the simple $5 scientific calculators in chem/physics cuz they don't want u to cheat..

i still use my graphing calculator when i'm doing simple calculations cuz i'm used to it.. but still.. i thought public schools were suppose to be free..

[dahalfkoreanstyl]

i recommend the TI-83 plus because most high schools will teach with and demonstrate using either 83 or 83 plus

[sadolakced acid]

ti-89 is the standard in high schools w/ an AP cal. class.

[Soleil]

Ya i have one i got it on sale.

[x LUV x ALWAYS x]

its required for my math class.

the TI-83 PLUS is okay. i have it because my parents didn't want to get the more expensive one. its fine, but has much less memory than the TI-84 Plus for if you want to install programs. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition looks pretty cool too...

[Senorita_Babo]

An oldie but a goodie: TI 83+, i've had it since freshman year, the later versions are more expensive but i find that a TI 83+ is just fine for algebra, geometry and calc, there's really no need to buy a more expensive one.

[prettylotus]

I don't have one but I want one... Both my brothers have one and I don't have one because I'm gonna start high school next year... But by the looks of the calculators my brothers have, It looks confusing with all those buttons

[jue]

nope i dont have one. but i would love to have one. it makes stuff alot easier and theres even games on it.

[canny]

u are supplied for it when i was taking math

[glit_gal]

Hmm.. i believe it's the TI-84 plus silver edition. I love it because you can buy cool colorful faaceplates for it, and it has a clock

wow that's like a high tech caluclator, lol

[sweet_devil]

if a ti-83 plus is a graphing caculator counts, then yes i hav 1 we need it for 7th grade...

[sweet_devil]

nope i dont have one. but i would love to have one. it makes stuff alot easier and theres even games on it.

actually, u hav to get the games off someone elses caculator with a cord which connects them... x)

[ZXCVBNMASDF]

I was required to have a TI-84.

[demolished]

Nah, i dont have one because i'm taking algebra 1

[xbladeoffire90x]

I'm a freshman right now in Pre-Calculus, and I have a graphing calculator, a Ti-86. It's funny though, I don't think anyone really knows how to work a 86, only 83 or 89. Most of the kids have Ti-89 Titanium.

I hardly use it though, we used it for one or two classes earlier in the year, and today we used it too.

[whomps]

Yup, I have one. TI-83 ? Yeah.

[*mona lisa*]

I have two TI-83+s.

[DisneyPrincessKa...]

i mine. i have a TI-83+ with a sticker on it that says "marvelous!"

[sm0kinm0nky]

no i have a T-34, my school has lots of graphic calcuators

[emazing]

No, but I want one. They're pretty expensive, though, and I don't think I'll be graphing much next year, but one can never be so sure.

[*mipadi*]

TI-89. They're pricey ($150 or so) but you can use them forever, even up through college and beyond.

And, of course, you can play Tetris on them.

[b0st0ngrl]

I think I'm getting my brother's TI-83 for AlgebraII. He's going off to college and "needs a new one"

[BeyondElite]

Yes. I need it for my graphing unit.

[sadolakced acid]

TI-89. They're pricey ($150 or so) but you can use them forever, even up through college and beyond.

And, of course, you can play Tetris on them.

if you go high enough in math you'll need a TI-92.

[*mipadi*]

if you go high enough in math you'll need a TI-92.

The TI-89 is basically the TI-92. The TI-92 is no longer made by Texas Instruments; the TI-89 provides the same functions now. This is because the TI-92 is considered a computer, not a calculator, and thus cannot be used on many tests (including the SAT).

[shawty_redd]

yep i have one
Ti 83+

[Jake]

yeah. I have a TI-83+

[ktsou11]

TI-89, you can use it for calc.

[sadolakced acid]

no, they've rebranded the TI-92 as the voyager-200.

and, as life isn't all about tests, they still make it.

[likeachild]

TI-84 plus is a good value

i you're going to calculus get TI-89

[chak_gahk]

I have 2 TI-83+ my sister and I both need it...at the same time, so we were kinda forced to get another one. 89 is cool though... never have to factor a damn quadratic, etc. ever again! Although 84/5 can do that too... My H.S. doesn't allow anything above 84, though. And colleges around here don't allow above 85, I think.

[capsule]

ooh buddy, theres no way i could pass classes or have done decent on that sat without it...

i have a ti-84 plus.

[freeflow]

i dont have one , but ima need one for geometry next year , so yea this topic is handy for me too.

[JlIaTMK]

^ Hm, wow, you need graphing calculators for geometry?

I thought it always started with Algebra 2....
oh well.

Anyways, yeah I had one for Algebra 2 Honors this year.... next year for Trig, I guess so.

[x_o]

i am getting a new graphing calc soon it's required for algebra 2 in my freshman year.
which graphing calc is the best and the price is affordable? (TI only)

i have a TI-83 and a scientific calculator. i see everyone playing games on their graphing calculators, but i still like my scientific one better since i've had it since seventh grade for pre-alg (i got the graphing one for alg 2 too)

[Kenado]

i use mine to pass to my friends furing class so we can talk kinda like passing notes!!!

[ichigofan]

I have a TI-83+ its cool and the games are fun but damn there expensive

[[Scr3amin][Horro...]

No I dunt Need 1 lol
[Grade 7 in Sep]

[ikayto]

geometry, YOU DO NOT NEED A GRAPHING CALCULATOR
all you learn in geometry is about shapes........

ALG 2, only need if you're really stupid with matrices, and probability
*you can do everything in alg2 with a scientific calculator, TRUST ME, just know how to work it.

PreCAL and up: you need graphing calculator

geez your schools are stupid ahah, makign you buy stuff you dont need

[Blank-OuT]

I bought a graphing calculator for this yr, but i never used it...lmao it was always jus sitting there in my locker. I can't find it anymore, I think I let someone borrow it n I never got it back. But I dunno, on the last day of school I couldn't find it in my locker... .

[sadolakced acid]

TI- 89 titanium with custom sliver flamejob on the front cover.

[*RiC3xBoy*]

I have a Ti-83 PLUS and I suggest you get the Ti-89 Titanium since it makes all other calculators obsolete.

When you get into Pre-Cal and Calculus, you WILL NEED a graphing calculator unless your willing to work very hard.

[*salcha*]

I was in Algebra II/Trig, the teacher never let us use calculators, and we suffered....a lot. Yeah, but for Precalc H next year, I got the Ti-85 silver editioni. WOrks well, and a lot of people have it.

[elmogurly]

i want one..

i like to play w/ my friend's one. writing thing, trying to play the games, hehe

[SillyCourtney]

No, I just use the ones the teachers let you use. But, it would be nice to have one.

[michelle_07]

graphing calcs come in nice and handy for the ACT
you're allowed to program formulas and other useful info into it for the test

[MasterNe0]

I got a ti-83 plus and I play games like zelda on it during class. lmao. gotta love the cable.

[thanhmai]

i need one for statsap

[*danielle_x3*]

yes. i have the TI-84 silver. it's required for my classes next year :|

[xlauren73x]

i have a TI-84 plus.. and yeahh we needed it for algebra 2 and then i'll need it for all the other math classes im taking [geometry, trig, calculus] it comes in handy when you're doing graphs and tables.. just plug it right in and boom

[YourSuperior]

Yes, I do. I have a Texas Instruments TI-86

[*xcaitlinx*]

i need to get one. they're so expensive though.

[iiTsDAYNA]

Their really good! They have games on them when you get bored. And their very useful.

[nopattern]

Yeah, I think it's required for this coming year.

[cheerbee07]

i have a TI-83 Plus Silver Edition....i lived by it last year in geometry...my gosh, i would have failed without it. haha.

[faded23]

I have the TI 83 cuz our whole math curriculum(sp?) is based on using this calculator. It's about 90 bucks and it's easy to use

[*tweeak*]

no but i really need one
