[Blindmath] Texas Instruments Graphing Calculator TI84 Plus

[Sharon Clark]

As a TVI, I would find it extremely beneficial to high school students
needing to graph equations. They would be able to receive the same
instructions as their peers and have the same result throughout the problem.
All of my students currently use View Plus's AGC, but the software does not
seem to be as simple as the TI84. They are required to figure out the
problem before they can enter the information into the graph while their
peers plug in the equations directly.

Hello All,
Please comment on the Texas Instruments graphing calculator, model TI84
Plus. Is it the primary scientific graphing calculator in US school
districts for sighted students? Is there a demand or need for this
calculator to be accessible to students who are visually impaired/blind? Are
there math textbooks that contain problems to be solved with the TI84 Plus?
Are there calculators made by other companies that compete with Texas
Instruments? Thanks for any information.
