ONLINE CALCULATORS
The Desmos Calculator is the closest to the one used on the CAASPP testing.
Desmos Scientific Calculator (appropriate for Math 8 & Compact courses)
Desmos Graphing Calculator (appropriate for Compact courses)
The following provide Compact students with downloadable calculators that emulate the TI-84 calculators (the ones we use in class). In the past, some students had trouble getting them to work on their computers, but you can try. :)
Wabbitemu (link to site where you can then download)
Click HERE for instructions for installing it on Windows.
(Choose TI-84 Plus, if you want one similar to the ones we use at school.)
