Editorial Review: Product Description: Middle Grade Graphing Calculator The Texas Instruments TI73 graphing calculator is designed for middle-grade students. It has a large screen to help students see patterns and analyze data. It features stacked fractions and data analysis functions that allow students to easily view and edit numeric and alphanumeric data in the list editor. They will be able to plot data in statistics plots including pie charts, pictographs, bar charts, scatter plots, histograms, and more. Amazon.com Review: The TI-73 is a great compromise for those in the market for a full-featured scientific calculator who don't want to spend a lot of money. The only real problem is that the superior TI-83+ is now available for about the same price, but if you have your mind set on this model, it certainly won't disappoint. The highlight of the TI-73 is its large display, which shows the history of your calculations, depicts graphs and charts, and has a high enough resolution to simultaneously display several rows of stacked fractions. The stacked-fraction feature is a boon for struggling middle school students, as the results of calculations involving fractions are displayed as fractions, not decimals. The TI-73 is fully programmable and comes with a fairly large library of built-in formulas, making things like time and distance conversions a snap. The product comes with two features that few other calculators boast--firmware with flash memory and link capabilities. The use of flash memory means Texas Instruments can upgrade and enhance the features of the calculator and make them available to TI-73 users without requiring a hardware upgrade. Instead, you simply download the new firmware or software applications, connect the calculator to your computer, and copy the new stuff over the old stuff. The package comes with a cable for linking two calculators, but unfortunately, the cable for connecting the TI-73 to your computer is sold separately. Texas Instruments didn't skimp on the documentation and bundles a 350+ indexed manual with the calculator. This tome is chock-full of illustrated examples that demystify the device's more advanced features like statistical analysis, lists, tables, and function graphing. We were graphing within 10 minutes of unpacking the TI-73, and cobbling together simple programs within an hour. The TI-73 is marketed as a calculator for middle school students, but it has enough power and features to satisfy all but the most advanced high school and college students. --T. Byrl Baker Pros:

 Rating:  - TI-73 Graphing CalculatorTI-73 Graphing Calculator is bought to my daughter in 7th grade. It is the model recommended by her Math teacher (Middle School). Rating: - Depends on what you need a calculator forIf you are in grades 4-8 this is a wonderful calculator to explore and formalize your understanding of the math concepts. It has many nice features. However if you need a graphing calculator that you will use through high school use the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition. If you are purchasing during your high school years you may want to consider even starting with a higher caliber calculator than this as a TI-83 Plus will not take you through very many college level math courses until you need something ...

If you're in middle school, then you probably won't need such an expensive calculator, because you really don't need to use a calculator to graph. If you are learning graphing, you might not be able to use it one the test. In my opinion, I would buy one of those cheaper plainly scientific calculators. They get the job done and they are cheaper. But, if you really want to get a graphing calculator, ... Read More Rating: - The TI 73The TI 73 is the best. At least in my opinion, it is the best for all the people in Middle School. If you are in Middle school at this moment and you need a graphing calculator for math or science, don't go out and spend alot of money on another kind of calculator. The TI 73 is fit for the job! Rating: - StudentI use this calculator at school. It is great! It does graphs, plots, and much more! I like how it shows you all of the number that you type in, unlike a regular calculator that only shows you 1 number at a time. It's wonderful for schools and home! |
