SUBJECT:
CALCULATORS AT THE SECONDARY LEVEL
Our middle school’s website posts recommended student supplies for the 2013-2014 school year. Calculators are recommended for students entering the 8th grade, I would like to share with you the recommendations for calculators at our high school so that you may plan your purchases accordingly.
A scientific calculator, like the TI-30X IIS, is sufficient for middle school, algebra I, and geometry. Students who are taking Algebra I honors and intend on pursing mathematics through calculus are recommended to have a graphing calculator, such as one from the TI-84 series.
Please know that we are not stating that students should have a graphing calculator for middle school, but this information may be helpful in planning your purchase.
