Best graphing calculator for high school is the
TI 84 Plus
http://riskofradiation.com/instruments/best-graphing-calculator-for-high-school-is-the-ti-84-plus/
"The new TI-84 Plus is a wonderful calculator. If anybody has had the TI-83 or 83 Plus, they know
how easy and reliable it is. The 84 Plus is an all-around imprivement on the older version and even
worth the additional $15-$20. I have had it since school started and have noticed than any problem I
enter, it is solved immediately upon pressing enter, or solve. The speed is a great improvement over the
83-Plus".Read the rest of this review here
The kids of today are not like those of our time. Back in the 1990s the older people had to settle for two
dimensional graphs and if one wanted an upper triangular matrix then they had do all the row
operations by themselves. Today, kids are using advanced graphing calculators.
We recommend the TI84 Plus ( read the Full review here )which is the newer version of the famous TI
83. Although it is not as advanced as the TI89 Titanium it allows you to learn to do calculations
yourself. In addition the TI84 Plus is acceptable in standardized tests such as SATs.
However the TI84 has all you need in high school.
Technical Details
Graphing calculator handles calculus, engineering, trigonometric, and financial functions
USB on-the-go technology for file sharing with other calculators and connecting to PCs
11 apps preloaded
Displays graphs and tables on split screen to trace graph while scrolling through table values
Backed by 1-year warranty
There is also the TI 84 plus Silver edition which is more powerful than the TI84 Plus and is also easier
to use than the TI 89.
"This calculator is hands-down the best I have ever had the honor of using. While the TI-84 Plus may
not have as much space or as many pre-loaded Apps as the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition, the TI-84 Plus
offers everything a high school (possibly some college) math student needs in order to successfully
learn and solve mathematics material". Read the rest of this review here

Many instructors in high school or even college will not allow the use of Ti 89 Titanium because it
solves the problems automatically. Some teachers allow students to use calculators for home work but
not for exams.
The TI 84 Plus or Silver are therefore the best for high school. In addition they can be easily upgraded
when needed. The TI 89 is advanced and your teacher may not even know how to use it or dos some
calculations. The learning curve on a TI89 is also much steeper than that of TI84 plus or Silver. Many
teachers may also be using the TI 84 Plus/Silver - which will leave those with TI 89 to figure out
complicated calculators on their own.
My advice is to buy the TI 84 Plus/Silver for high school - as you can use it in exams and in
standardized tests. You can then purchase the TI 89 later in college if you feel you need it- or are taking
specific majors.
The best place to buy the TI84 Plus is at Amazon. You pay much less than in regular stores while still
getting all the warranties. They also have free shipping, great customer service and great return
policies. You also don't pay state sales tax which adds as much as $12 to a $150 calculator.
Tip: One other thing to remember is to put new batteries in the Calculator when going for an exam
.Some students have forgotten to do so and ended up doing these exams by hand.
