Re: Calculators?

I have my TI-30xa which I use for chemistry, It works but is less than ideal.

My TI-83+ The calculator I have used every day since 8th grade I know that calculator inside and out, This is the one I use on Standardized tests and any where else it is permitted it makes it extremely easy to check answers

My TI-89 I am learning to use so I can have it in college and beyond, It has more potential than the 83+ but I am not as comfortable with it yet. I use it for home work on occasion but never during tests, time is too limited during tests to have to search for a function.

My advice to any one is to learn math the way my teacher teaches it, She teaches us the theroms and how to do it all out, I can do anything from Basic math through Pre Calc (and what ive learned so far in calc) without any calculator. She then shows us how to do it on our Graphics calculator. This is very helpful, it allows us to check solutions and do the work faster when necessary. Knowing how to do calculations both ways puts you in a great place on standardized tests it prevents you from wasting time. Also learn basic and program formulas into your calculator, These are extremely helpul in checking quadratic roots and other simple calculations that errors are frequently made on.
