calculator alternatives

options 1, 2, & 3

If you need a basic calculator, a graphing calculator, or a scientific calculator and the one you need is not available at home, then consider using Desmos.

Desmos offers three types of calculator apps: a Four Function (basic) Calculator, a Graphing Calculator, and a Scientific Calculator. All are free to use. (But please be aware that DESMOS IS NOT APPROVED FOR USE ON IN-CLASS TESTS!)


Downloadable Apps

From the App Store or Play Store, you can download and install apps for the Desmos graphing and/or scientific calculators. (Your phone/device probably already has a basic calculator app. Typically, basic calculators come pre-installed.)


Web-Based Apps

You can also visit the web-based platform for all three calculators by Googling "Desmos" and selecting the type of calculator you desire.
