Additional information for Algebra I and Geometry students
For advanced math students who will be taking Algebra I or Geometry, a Texas Instruments TI-84 Plus
Silver Edition calculator may be used but is not required; this model will be used in the following years in
the Upper School mathematics courses. As these graphing calculators are expensive, you should only
purchase one if you are not likely to misplace it! (You may find these to be less expensive in the United
States or in a duty-free store.) Otherwise, a scientific calculator (with sin, cos, tan, square root, and exponent ^
features) is fine.
