 Excellent calculator March 5, 2005

If you think this calculator is for elementary school kids, you're WRONG. I can't afford a fully flegged graphing calculator yet, so this is my only alternative. It's served me extrodinary through Honors Chemistry and Geometry (especially calculating moles and gas pressures). It's also the calculator that my school has for us in case we don't have a calculator. Overall, this is one of the best calculators you can get for your twenty bucks or so, buy it!
Perfect for middle school level math April 17, 2006

I have the original TI34 calculator and bought it back in the 6th grade for Pre-Algebra. I'm now a college sophomore and still use it occasionally. This calculator was perfect for Pre-Algebra, Algebra, and Geometry and I couldn't have imagined using any other calculator. There was no need for anything more advanced (such as a graphing calculator) in those classes. It is very simple to use and doesn't have too many buttons. In fact, I've never even used half of the buttons that are on it. It is very durable as it has lasted me 9 years of dropping it and spilling drinks on it. It is a must have for any middle school math student.
very very useful October 10, 2000

To each and every one of my nieces and nephews I have given this calculator. One niece is in the 5th grade and `luvs' this thing. One nephew is in Jr High and in algebra and finds much better then the graphing calculators used by some. Some teachers will not allow graphing calculators on test but, he tells me, he has never had a teacher so `out of it' that they have forbidden scientifics. The instructions for use of this calculator can be easily understood and on the TI website there is even more information and teachers handbook with `how tos' and exercises. TI also publishes a wonderful workbook for this calculator...
Not just for 5th graders August 30, 2004

This is a great calcualtor, some might say it's for fifth graders but you can easily use it through middle school as well. Even in 9th grade math you don't even start using the more complicated functions that this calculator provides. I kept mine inside my binder for years and it never broke, the solar pannel is very, very, extremely convenient since you don't have to buy batteries every six months. I never had any trouble using it and it has always worked. I'm looking forward to use it for quite a few more years.
This is a great buy, it's cheap but it certanly lasts a lifetime.

This is one of the best, well only, calculators I've ever used.
I bought this back when I was in 6th grade and I've been using it since (Now I am a sophomore in college, 7 years, give or take a year). Lower version of this calculator such as TI-30s have too little features or obscure and those TI-8* giants have so many features that if you want to add you need to press 10 buttons (exaggerating of course, but you get the idea). I've looked at my friend who have owned TI-30s and the "giants" they seem to be contempt with it but the giants seemed bombastic to me.
Even in my advanced calculus class in High School, my teacher asked us to do the graphs without the use of a graphing calculator, its a little tedious but it helped me learn the concepts and I used TI-34 II for all the addition, subtraction, trig, and various other functions.
What I like about this calculator is the fact that it have a 2-line display, I can see my questions as well as my answer. I can also plug in a complex single variable equations in one single line and solve, unlike those 1-line display calculators where you can't see what you've put in and have to constantly keep going back.
I haven't realized the power of the STO-> (store) button until my freshman year in high school (wish I would have earlier), but it is one of the most powerful features that you can ever imaging. It will actually store up to 5 values of your calculations and keep it in the memory until you manually delete it (powering off does not erase the memory). I mostly use the ANS function if I want to use the previous answer, but if I wont be using the answer in the next equation, all I have to do is STO->. It saves me tons of time.
The only "flaw", if you even want to call it that, is the fact that it does not show the numbers in scientific notation which are below 10 digits. SOMETIMES, its annoying, but its nothing you cant handle, eh mate?
Another issue, not a big deal at all but thought thought you should know, is the fact that in the beginning it might be tricky to put the lid back on the calculator, you think I am bluffing eh? See it for yourself when you buy it. The trick to putting it back on is to keep the calculator 45 degree angle in reference to the cover plate and gradually decrease the angle as the calculator slides in the "groove" of the cover plate. You'll see what I mean, hard to describe in words. Or just do what I do, just put one side of the calculator on one side of the cover plate "groove" and press the other end in until you hear a CLICK sound, the plastic is flexible so dont be afraid of breaking it :).
Durability wise, I've dropped this calculator at least 500 times, literally, over the course of 7 years and not once has it broken, screen faded, pixels missing, or anything of that sorts. Sure, there are a few scratches, but other than that it works just as well as when it was new. Just to let you know, my friend bought a TI-30 and he dropped it after 5 months of using it, not I dont know if it because of the way it fell or what but, he dropped it and broke the screen and he could only see it partially, of course, that was no use. I recommended TI-34 II then but he went with CASIO because it could solve derivatives :|, he is so lazy, LOL.
Anyways, buy this calculator and you wont be disappointed :).
