You have a few options. You can get a simple scientific calculator without a graphing screen for about $15 to $30 (A graphing screen is not needed in 6th grade). Or, for about $100, you could go ahead and purchase a graphing calculator with lots of buttons and a large graphing screen (required for 8th grade math). In the 7th grade math class the graphing calculators will be used at times, but it is not required that you buy them. If you buy the more expensive graphing models, please be sure your son/daughter can take care of this expensive calculator for at least the next three years. If you do plan to get a graphing calculator, it is highly recommended that you get a Texas Instruments TI-83 or TI-84 model. In 6th grade, the Texas Instruments TI-30 IIs is a good model to use. It can be found at the TI website, which also directs you to several retailers from whom you can buy it at a store location or on-line. Click here for the link.
