Overview
A battery-powered scientific calculator with a one-line, 10-digit display, built for general math, pre-algebra, algebra 1 and 2, trigonometry and basic science coursework.
This is Texas Instruments' entry-level scientific model, long used as a classroom standard where a graphing calculator is not required or allowed. It handles trig, log and fraction functions but has no graphing screen or multi-line history, which keeps it simple to operate and low priced.
- One-line, 10-digit display
- Trig, log, root and fraction functions
- 1-variable statistics (mean, standard deviation)
- Battery powered with slide case
Who it's for
Fits students in pre-algebra through trigonometry classes, along with anyone needing basic scientific functions for coursework or work, who don't need graphing. Students in calculus or statistics courses requiring a graphing model should look elsewhere in TI's lineup.
Pros and cons
- Covers trig, log and fraction functions for standard math courses
- Simple one-line display keeps operation straightforward
- Includes a slide case for protection
- No graphing capability
- No multi-line display or equation history
Performance notes
The one-line, 10-digit display handles trigonometric functions, logarithms, roots, powers, reciprocals and factorials, plus fraction entry in traditional numerator/denominator format. It also computes one-variable statistics (mean and standard deviation) and converts between fractions and decimals, degrees and radians, and polar and rectangular coordinates.
