Additional Graphing Calculator Information 

Incoming Grade 10's:  We hope you are having a great summer and we look forward to seeing you in our classes in the fall.  Any student that is taking a Pure or Applied Math course (not Math 14) is recommended to have a graphing calculator. The calculator that the QE Math department recommends is the Texas Instruments 83+ (TI-83+) or the TI-84+.   These calculators will range from about $100 - $150 and places like Costco, Superstore, Wal-Mart, Staples and Future Shop often have summer and back-to school sales.  We realize that this is a big purchase but students will require a graphing calculator for their Math Diploma Exams in grade 12 and they can use this calculator for their other classes including Chemistry, Physics and Biology. If you are purchasing a new calculator please retain and submit the UPC code from the back of the package to your math teacher as we can redeem these for in-school technology resources. 

For any other math courses a scientific calculator is required.    

Graduating Grade 12's:   If any graduates are interested in selling their graphing calculators, please leave a message at the school by calling 780-476-8671, voicemail #552.  You can also email This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
