SharonK Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 My son will be starting Chalkdust Algebra 2 soon. This is his first year using Chalkdust. The company suggests purchasing a TI-83 calculator to use with the program. The TI-84 seems to have more capabilities. Should we purchase the TI-84 or stick with the TI-83? I don't want him to get confused in the Chalkdust program since they reference the TI-83. TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anne/Ankara Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 We have used the TI-84 Silver Plus graphing calculator, which seems fine. Recently someone posted a link for a nice discount on it... http://www.cheapcheapcheap.com/deal/Texas-Instruments-TI-83-Plus-Graphing-Calculator-25-TI-84-Plus-45-More/13491.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenda in MA Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 it's a few more $$, but the Silver Edition has more memory. There are many specialized applications that can be loaded onto the calculator from the web, such as a periodic table, which is really handy for Chemistry. My ds used the TI-84 for CD's PreCalc last year, and it worked just fine. Staples has it on sale this week, too. HTH, Brenda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
