Overview
Math classrooms are the setting for this Texas Instruments graphing calculator, an enhanced version of the earlier model in its family with more memory. It runs on AAA batteries, shows graphs and text on an LCD screen and links to a computer through the included USB cable.
Full compatibility with the earlier model in the family matters most, since programs and lessons built for that calculator carry over. The limitation is the plain LCD text display, which the listing describes only by line and character count.
Who it's for
Students moving up from the earlier model keep working with the same programs, gain memory and get a cable for computer transfers. Buyers who want to stop replacing batteries should look at a rechargeable model instead.
Pros and cons
- Fully compatible with the TI-83 Plus
- Three times the TI-83 Plus memory
- USB computer cable included
- Runs on common AAA batteries
- Runs through disposable AAA batteries
- Batteries not listed as included
- Sixteen characters per line limits long expressions
Performance notes
Battery condition governs reliability, because the calculator draws all its power from the AAA cells and has no listed charger. The small character grid limits how much of a long expression shows at once, so editing long formulas means scrolling. Transfers to a computer run through the included cable.
