I was wondering what type of graphing calculators students used and opinions on graphing calculators. I use a TI-89 Titanium. It's the "biggest" which is still allowed on the PSAT, SAT, AP Calculus and AP Chemistry exams. It can be sort of complicated to use especially if you haven't had and previous experience with Texas Instrument graphing calculators before. I just like how it is designed for easy equation solving for Calculus and Engineering. |

I love the TI-83 Plus Silver Addition. It's not as capable as a TI-89 but it is very user friendly. Perfect combination of usability and power. Plus it's silver! :drool:

Yeah, I've used my friends once before I had gotten my 89-Titatium. I like how it was set up plus the additional memory compared to just the TI-83 Plus. Hehe. ^^ |

I think the TI 89 is the best value because you can use it on SATs and most standardized tests and it can still do a great deal. However if you're like me and the last math class I took was trig with precal my juinior year of high school...my TI 86 served perfectly. Did everything I needed and I like how it was organized much better than the TI 83 I used in middle school. Plus I had frogger, zelda, and tetris attack

Yeah, the TI-83 Plus is the most widely used by Junior High and High School students. I just got that TI-89 for when I take AP Calculus next year. And it's helped for Pre-Calculus this year. |

when i took AP Calculus and Chemistry in high school, we used the HP calculators. but they have the new HP models out now where you can actually switch interchangeably from HP mode to TI mode. |

I have a TI 84 plus silver, my school has TI 83s they let people use, The 84 are good and very easy for test once you program them with all those equations. |

Yeah, I am amazed how similar the TI-89 Titanium and HP 49g+ are. The only real difference is the 89 Titanium has about 200K more user memory. And dragonsile brings up the reason why my school had a huge controversy over The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, TI-89 and TI-89 Titanium. They had actually attempted to say we could not use our calculators because of the easy-to-do programing, but we fought them. Eventually it was taken to the Head of the Mathamatics Department of our school, and she allowed the calculators as long as they were not a "qwerty" type, so we won.

I don't get how you play games on caculators. :blink: The only thing I really know how to do on caculators is to add on them instead of getting a peice of paper and adding 4 + 4 thinking it's 44. And one guy in my class showed me to put in 0.1134 and to turn the calculator around to spell "hello". Now this tells how smart I am

You either have to download games from the internet, get them from friends, or learn how to make them yourself Most of mine came from friends, couple online. It was nice for when you didn't feel like paying attention in class Plus tetris you could hook two calculators up and play against each other...Though that was harder to get away with and not be caught :/
