Calculators for AP Calculus:
Only graphing calculators are allowed on a portion (roughly a third) of the AP Exam. No calculator is allowed during the rest of the exam . Thus, we will follow the same usage during class/ practice. We will use graphing calculators ONLY (no scientific calculators) for portions of classroom assessments. If you already have a graphing calculator, please bring it to class with you. If not, a class set of TI-Nspire handhelds will be available for use in class and will be available to check out for homework and the AP exam.
Recommended Graphing Calculators: If you wish to purchase your own graphing calculator, the following models are highly recommended:
TI n-Spire CX II
TI n-Spire CX CAS II (cannot be used on the ACT)

3-ring binder (divider tabs optional)
notebook paper or notebook, college ruled

Scientific calculator (see discussion of calculators below)
Calculators for Pre-Calculus:
A good scientific calculator is essential to success in Pre-Calculus. You should bring a scientific calculator with you to class. If you already have one, there is no need to buy a new one. If you don't currently have one, I recommend the TI-36X Pro. Graphing calculators may be used at times, but there is a class set of TI-NSpire handhelds available. Any graphing homework will be able to be accomplished using
www.desmos.com. Desmos is also available through the app store on Apple devices. We will also use 4-function calculators in class for much of the 1st semester.
