[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, do they need a calculator? I'd ask the prof.  I didn't use one for those classes.

Because of cheating risks, all my calc professors prohibited the use of calculators.[/quote]

Are you serious? A graphing calculator is required for AP Calculus BC.

Depends. College board has gone to 100% desmos on the exam. If the teacher is utilizing that in class, a graphing calculator isn't really needed.[/quote]

Nor really. Calculators are still allowed. Why take the risk when it’s allowed and can help with the exam? This is ridiculously bad advice.

I'm an AP calc teacher. The kids can use their calculators for basic computations if they want, but all the visual stuff is in desmos now. I'm not wasting time with complex button sequences on a 1992 operating system and graphical display that somehow still costs over $100. So to that end, I don't care what calculator they bring in. I can't speak to multivar, my school doesn't have that.[/quote]
