  • For our geometry class, we require students to have a SCIENTIFIC calculator to complete assignments in this class. Perry High School recommends Texas Instruments products, as we model how to use these calculators in class. Models we recommend are the TI-30XS or the TI-30XIIS, which can be found at stores or online for an average price of $12-18. If your family cannot purchase a calculator, please let me know in class or via email as soon as possible.

     

    Please note, Algebra 2 and classes beyond require a graphing calculator. If you would like to invest in this calculator early, please read the Algebra 2 Calculator information below. These are a great option for geometry as well.

    We recognize that this is a large expense, so if your family cannot purchase a calculator at this time, please talk to me in class or email me as soon as possible. The school has a limited amount of calculators available to check out to students for the year, so please reach out to me sooner rather than later to guarantee you can get a school calculator.
