[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 84 is identical to the 83, but with a few nice features (radicals and exponents look "prettier", fractions show as a horizontal bar vs. a slash, etc)  If you got the color edition, then lines graph in different colors to better differentiate.  The functionality on each is the same.

My guess is the teacher didn't update the syllabus.  We've been requesting 84's for 5 years now at the school where I teach (though stated that if you have access to an 83, that's fine!)[/quote]

My bet is the teacher has not learned the keystrokes for,the 84, which are not always the same.

I am sure Ms. Saftner knows her way around a TI 84.  I have a rising 9th and 7th graders, both were/are in TPMS magnet. TI-83 or 84 are both fine.  TI-83 is earlier model. An 84 on sale might be cheaper. I just got the new color 84 on sale for $100 for 9th grader going into Functions and gave the old 83 (bought used off of craigslist) to rising 7th grader. Either is fine. School also has TI 83s in classroom if you want to wait on it.  It's not crucial to have on day 1.[/quote]
