This calculator is a built-in option in the STAAR EOC exam in Algebra 1 as well as the online SAT administration.
Graphing Calculators (TI nspire CX & CX II) will be used in this class. They are NOT required; however, graphing calculators are a smart investment for use in several math classes from this grade level on thru college. All high school math classes beginning in Algebra I will use the TI Inspire CX or CXII. If you do not have your own, a graphing calculator will be provided for in-class use.
