When the teacher disallows TI-83, 85 etc. this is a good alternative November 1, 2009

My daughter's college chemistry class banned the graphing calculators (TI-83+) so students couldn't cheat. We had to purchase another calculator, however, and this one was perfect. My daughter learned to use it very quickly and loved it. Recommend.
Great Calculator October 25, 2009

I love this calculator... you can view multiple lines at once and you can scroll up and see a lot of previous history and select previous answers which is great if you're doing multiple equations. This calculator is perfect for use in my chemistry classes where they do not allow graphing calculators but i still want a very functional calculator.
Best purchase this year! September 30, 2009

I absolutely love this calculator. I have the TI-84 plus and my teacher recommended this cheap-o calc for a college course. I bought it just to see since it was so inexpensive. OMG I LOVE IT!!!!!! It does everything but graph and it processes equations faster and easier than the big expensive calcs. I would recommend this anyone taking college algebra, or anything with fractions, etc.
Excellent Learning Calculator May 25, 2009

Having taught math in urban school setting for over 5 years where funding and student buying power is limited, I've recently discovered this calculator as a cheaper alternative. Integrated math textbooks use graphing calculators extensively. The problems rely on students being able to generate tables, statistics and graphs quickly on the calculator. While the 30XS can not do graphs it can do tables (which is rare in calculators, particularly under $20) from which students can plot their own graphs. The statistics features are also fantastic featuring the mean, standard deviation,5 number summary and more. While this calculator is not as feature loaded as a TI-84, its has most of the features my High School students needs. As a bonus its mostly solar powered so I don't need to buy AAA batteries!
I have been a TI sales person in my classroom telling students if they can not afford a graphing calculator ($80 and up) this is a good choice. I do wish TI had some sort of teaching tool like TI-Smartview for this calculator, however its features are not so dissimilar to a TI-84 which makes teaching features easier. If you are fortunate enough to have a document camera, problem solved.
