Graphing Calculator

Online graphing calculator application: http://education.ti.com/educationportal/sites/US/productDetail/us_sdk_73_83_84.html Before you download the calculator be sure to ask for permission from your parent/guardian.

The application is a little confusing at first, but if you follow the directions carefully you can get a virtual graphing calculator (similar to the one I use in class on the Smartboard).

Steps:Click download (underneath the picture of the calculator) and Click the TI-83 Plus SDK Run
Once the application is download
Open up the application
File newSelect TI-83 PlusView Calculator
Debug Go
Your calculator should be fully functional. Enjoy practicing with your virtual calculator!

Disclaimer
The application is from Texas Instruments and I assume no liability relating to the application. Before downloading any applications be sure to read all information relating to the download. If you have downloaded the application please share your thoughts with the rest of the class.
