KarenC Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 We didn't use them when I was in school and I have no idea how to use one. Is there a Graphing Calculators for Dummies book? :001_smile: Thanks, Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandtinagilbert Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The Chalkdust Alg 1 & 2 programs do. You can get the less expensive ones from Amazon, too and it works. 2 teaches much more, fwiw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastalGal Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Art Reed DVDs cover calculator use in his Saxon Algebra 2 series. Most calculators come with a User's Guide and we found that to be pretty helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punks in Ontario Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I just used the operating manuel that I found online. I have a used one that my sister gave me. It wasn't too hard once I got the basics figured out. I still haven't figured out if I can find the incercept for two equations yet though. Sigh.

WTMindy Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I have also just used google at time when I need to know how to do something on the calculator (put in calculator model and question) and it takes me right to the answer I need.

Maverick Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 We have used the TI-83/84 for Dummies book. My ds and I found it to be more user friendly than the TI manual. Googling a specific function and model works, too. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
