    Help!!! Need a TI84 plus calculator or above (TI89 or TI Inspire)

    in Deal Finder & Deal Discussion

    Posted

    Oh yikes. Yeah, it seems the Nspire is the latest thing in the math world. I was talking to a math teacher this morning and he was saying that they are going to be using it more. It has software that the schools can purchase to go with it, and he said that they are about to have it installed for the entire math department. (I am the computer tech, so that's my job) I was surprised, because it seems to be a little more complicated than the TI-84. And my boys school still says 84 or 89, the 89 for higher maths. When my daughter had this teacher I was talking to, seems like she needed the Nspire for stat, but was fine with the other. But this was a few years ago.

     

    Good luck! Hope you find something!

    That is what I am hearing since we will not have it til second half I have some time to still look. The 89 is completely out you can't use it on the testing .. the 84 + I bought I am going to hold on to for now she said it "would do" but it is not the color nsipre they want it is the other that has a 84 keyboard that will switch out no stores here carry it so e-bay or amazon looks to be it. I would hate to just "do" ..lol..but please if you hear of one please post I will keep checking back often :) Thanks everyone!!!

    Something to look into. My DS had to get one but it was for home use. Our school had enough for them to use while in school. That way I did not have to worry about him losing it or it getting stolen.

     

    I would call the school and see. We did not find out until school started that he did not need to carry it to school just for home use. It would have saved me a lot because he could have borrowed his cousins. Now I know so DD is starting HS this year and wont have to run out and buy for her they can share the one at home.

    I have heard that but was afraid that there wouldn't be enough and he would need for any at home work also... We may start with it staying home till we know one way or the other. This is just year 1 of 4 that he will need it, so I don't think it will be a waste and you can use it for the ACT..We don't start until Wed so I will know more then.

    Be careful sending them to school. DD left hers in the desk and when she went back to get it less than 1 hour later .. it was gone.

    Ouch! that is why I am looking at the TI84 plus instead of the Inspire.. Not sure I want him to take one so expensive to school. $100 is bad enough $150-$160 would be heartbreaking. I have went back & forth on which to get I think I will stick with the latter of them....thanks all for the advice .. Going for sales tax holiday (almost 10% off and my mom works at walmart so another almost 10%) should help, not alot of deals that look any better right now.. wish I could find one for $60..

    Here's a nice chart that should help. Looks like the only difference is customizable face plates. Surely there's gotta be somethign else different for the difference in price...

    Looks like it holds more too thanks for the link, it did help... not sure how much difference it will make but now I know what to look for. More is always better when it comes to stuff like this, if we skimp we usually end up buying it twice..

    Watch the Office Max sneak peek deals...I found out the hard way that thier adds are different depending on where you live. They sent me an sneak peek that was completely wrong. The cashier asked where everyone kept getting the prices we were asking for, I explained it was what they e-mailed us, she was like oooohh ok and kept going.
