General Instructions

Students should learn how to use their TI-84 Graphing Calculator by starting with some of the basic functions on the calculator. You should watch each of the following videos, with the sound turned on. You should also have your calculator so that you can follow along with the video. In order for you to become proficient at using the calculator, you might need to watch the videos more than once.

After you feel comfortable with each function, you should try using each function of the calculator using different equations than what was shown in the videos. This should be done independently (not while watching the video).
