Our verdict

A classic scientific model with a double-row screen in a lavender finish for school math and science. It does not graph, so higher-level courses may need a different model.

Overview

A classroom desk or a school bag is where this two-line scientific calculator spends its time. Solar power runs the LCD, and it handles the usual scientific functions of the class.

The two-line display lets students see an entry and a result together, and solar power means the calculator rarely needs attention. The listing gives no function list, so confirm course requirements first.

Who it's for

Middle and high school students needing an everyday scientific calculator, plus parents looking for a reliable classroom basic. Graphing and programmable course buyers should look at a different class.
