Materials and Homework
Course materials: TI-84+ calculator. If you need to purchase one, Mrs. Breier recommends the TI-84+ CE, which is the color edition. The color makes graphing easier for the student (https://amzn.to/39v0Sb7). If you’d like a more budget-friendly version, the TI-84 Plus is also a good choice even though black & white (https://amzn.to/3adNBma).
