Recommendations for graphing calculators

Augmum:

She juz got it recently when sch reopens...

Sorri, no idea who is the supplier as it is a class mass order....
Yr DD's sch doesnt order for them ?

Actually, it's my husband who wants one as he's been asked to tutor a friend's son. He has not used this kind of calculator (not used in our day), so needs to get some practice! My daughter only starts school next week, so it could take a while before the orders go in (assuming the school will order in bulk). I found the name of the agent for TI in Singapore and will call them later if they are open today.

TI @ Bras Basah sells TI 84 Plus Pocket SE (most JC students are using this model) cheaper than Popular.

IB is likely to be TI nspire. It shows output in colours.

I have both TI 84 Plus and TI 84 Plus Pocket SE.


All the functions of TI 84 Plus, TI 84 Plus Silver Edition, TI 84 Plus Pocket SE are the same.

A TI 84 Plus works exactly as a TI 84 Plus Pocket SE, as long as both are using the same operating system.

To a H2 math student, the only difference is that TI 84 Plus Pocket SE is much lighter, have smaller screen and buttons. Some people actually prefer the TI 84 Plus because the screen and buttons are bigger!

[quote=\"slmkhoo\"]Thanks. That seems to be most common. Why is it so expensive!

i dunno how much it costs outside for that TI-84 plus pocket SE which my gal is using...
Bot from sch, ( class order), it costs $160...

Oh, that's a good price! It's now about $220 in Popular. When did she get it? Any idea where they got it from?[/quote]You can buy brand new TI 84 Plus Pocket SE at $169, from Nanyang JC bookshop. Contact 98893366
If you buy from them, they provide 2 years warranty. They also repair service at a flat rate of $30, and 6 months warranty after repair. Turnaround time is about 3 days. They did a good job of repairing my TI 84 Plus when the screen was frozen with blinking cursor.

Adding MOE SEAB Approved Calculator Rules for Students:
https://ingelsoong.com/moe-seab-approved-calculator-list

You could be using your calculator for finding mole ratios, solving roots of quadratic equations or evaluating acceleration problems.

Yet:

Do you know the rules pertaining to their use in Ministry of Education examinations?

https://s7.postimg.org/m7v57358r/MOE_SEAB_Calculator_Rules.jpg\">

Now:

1) Your calculator needs to be silent (100% silent mode)

2) You are not allowed to share your calculators with your friends during any examinations

3) You must remove any instruction sheets, formula lists or conversion help that come along with your calculators

4) Your calculator is not capable of performing differentiation, integration and other algebraic manipulations.

5) You cannot use a spoilt calculator as an excuse for low grades.

You are probably not aware that:

The use of calculators was introduced by the Ministry of Education for Primary 5 students in 2008 and Primary 6 students in 2009.

The reason given was to allow \"pupils to better focus on discovering patterns and making generalisations without worrying about computational accuracy\".

In 2008, secondary school students are allowed to use scientific calculators in both Paper 1 and Paper 2.

Previously, only Paper 2 allowed the use of scientific calculators.

Graphing calculators were also introduced in Junior College (JC)/ Centralised Institutes (CI) for H1, H2 and H3 Mathematics \" to plot graphs, perform statistical functions and solve a series of equations\" at GCE A-Level.
