Calculators:
TI-84 Plus Calculators will be used in class daily. Students who do not own their own will be issued one at the start of the class. If you are purchasing a calculator, consider the TI-84 Plus Silver (color if you want an extra). You will use it daily in math, and possibly for courses in college. There are great apps out there that will do the trick for much less money (see below).
Also consider the TI-89 Calculator. It is has a CAS (Computer Algebra System) which will allow it to solve equations for you. IT IS ALLOWED ON THE AP TEST! Caution: this calculator will not be allowed on SAT or ACT and not on most college placement tests.
