MATH CALCULATORS – 8 T H MATH
Recommend the TII-30X IIS calculator – graphing calculator not needed
MATH CALCULATOR – ALGEBRA 1, GEOMETRY, ALGEBRA 2/TRIGONOMETRY
The use of graphing calculators is recommended or required in all math classes at the secondary level.
The graphing calculators are allowed for taking the PSAT, SAT and the ACT tests. These tests are now written with
the calculator in mind and the questions include graphical analysis which can only be done with a graphing calculator.
Graphing calculators are available for use in the classroom or for check out in the Library Media Center.
Our MS and HS preferred calculator is the TI-Nspire CX (not CAS).
Other TI Calculators approved for the PSAT, SAT and the ACT are the TI-83, TI- 83+, TI-84 or TI-84+.
It is our district expectation that a student and family will purchase only one graphing calculator during their secondary
math experience. Cell Phone Calculators are not allowed in math classes or on college testing, therefore the
calculators mentioned will best prepare your student. Speak to your math instructor if you have further questions.
