Q: im going into the 11th grade and i am taking trig and statistics...i just bought a graphing calculator and am trying to figure out how to use it but im really confused even reading the manual. i just downloaded a bunch of apps and idk if i actually got htem on the calculator or not because i dont know how to get to them even on the calculator..help?!! i have school tomorrow and i want to be able to use it lol. btw its a TI-84 Plus silver edition

A: Okay, I can help. I have a TI 84 Plus SE, and I've been through the agonizing process of understanding how to use it.
However, you can get some help with it without going to teachers or classmates.
I'll show you step by step:
1. How to see what apps you've got: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_ti84pse.html?bid=3 lists the preloaded applications and the ones you can download. You can compare it the apps on your calculator.
2. You use a transfer software to get them on the calculator. The preferred one is TI Connect. It's on a disc that came with the calculator, but you can download it online at http://education.ti.com/educationportal/appsdelivery/download/download_interim.jsp?applicationId=183&contentPaneId=7 .

What is the best graphing calculator right now that has many features?
[2007-07-15 15:43:17]

I need a new graphing calculator for college, what is the best graphing calculator out there that has many cool features and that has that cable that goes to your computer.


Hello! A graphing calculator is very important in Calculus. A TI-89 is actually the best. It is so much better than TI-84. I suggest getting a Texas Instrument because it seems like it is the most reliable. Get a TI-89, it is worth it because the function allows you to do anything. My teacher said if you have a Ti-89, you don't need to know anything.... HAHAHA i agree...

Well Known (in case I need help with anything)
Good apps have been made for it

Ease of use
Easy to transfer files (apps) from my Mac to the calc
Bang for the buck

A new lesson plan: Technology and culture change the face of Lawrence schools Lawrence Journal World

The slide rules have turned into high-powered graphic calculators, and the stopwatches have turned into adaptable computer programs. Teachers no longer just lecture at the front of the class; they stream videos, use interactive computer programs and receive immediate feedback from students.

Lisa Melton, elementary learning coach for six Lawrence schools, says when she started teaching 24 years ago, the teacher was the main source of information for elementary students.

“Right now, kids are bombarded with fast-moving, graphic-rich images, and they have the information at their fingertips,” she says. “Many of them even have the Internet on their cell phones.”

Technology has enhanced a teacher’s ability to engage students in several different methods. Melton says teachers can use video streaming to give students a virtual tour of Egyptian ruins or an interactive lesson plan from another teacher 1,000 miles away. She also says teachers are starting to use handheld clickers so all students have a chance to answer questions with immediate feedback instead of waiting on one student to raise a hand.

What kind of graphing calculator should I buy?
[2006-08-16 17:53:28]

What is the best model graphing calculator to buy and why? Also, what is the purpose of the cable that comes with it? I need one for a precalculus algebra class and later another more advanced calculus class.


For advanced calculus a TI 94 or other 90 series calculater is good, but for the precalculas and algebra the TI 84 or 84+ is good. the cable lets it connect to other calculaters to transfer data. also you can buy a cable to connect to the computer through usb 2.0 and transfer data to and from the calculater

[2009-02-10 17:36:18]

I am in the middle of a correspondence course and i need a graphing calculator. They are too expensive to buy, and the Graphmatica one I downloaded is confusing. I can't figure out how to input the equation. Please help!


There are thousands of online graphing calculators available online. Just typing 'online graphing calculator' in a search engine yields many, many results.

Here's one of the first: http://www.coolmath.com/graphit/

It seems easy enough to use; it requires you have a Java Runtime Environment installed, however. Most newer computers should already have that though.
