TI-84 Plus Silver Edition
Developed using teacher and student feedback, 
the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculator from Texas Instruments (www.education.ti.com) comes preloaded with 30 educational programs and enough memory to store up to 94 applications, which users can access via TI’s online application library. Its built-in USB port makes it easier to connect to computers and share data with other graphing calculators and presentation equipment in class. The TI-84 Plus Silver Edition also allows students to personalize their calculator with interchangeable faceplates, and is permitted for use on U.S. college entrance exams, including the new SAT, ACT and AP subject exams.
