  Calculator Recommendation  
         
 

We recommend the use of two calculators: 

 Non-Graphing ---- TI - 30X IIS

Graphing ---- TI-83 plus or TI-84 family of calculators 

For Algebra I and Geometry:  The non-graphing calculator will be used.

For Algebra II (CP & H), Pre-Calculus & Adv. Math/Trig:   Both the non-graphing TI-30X IIS  and graphing TI-83 plus or TI-84  calculator will be used.  Students are required to have their own graphing calculator.

For AP Calculus:  Beginning with the 2006-07 the TI-89 is the recommended calculator.  A significant portion of the AP exam is calculator based and the TI-89 will be the most helpful.  The TI-86 is an alternative as are the TI-83 and TI-84.  Students are required to have their own graphing calculator.
