NumWorks Graphing Calculator

I bought the NumWorks calculator for my high school student, and she loves it. It seems way less intimidating than the TI calculator I used in school. My child picked it up quickly and actually enjoys using it. She told me that several of her classmates asked for one after seeing hers. She'll be using it next year on her AP exams. Highly recommend for any parents and their child!

As a veteran math teacher and the parent of a teenager, I find this calculator to be much easier to use than any other graphing calculator. I would recommend this device to any high school math student as their primary calculator. When you turn it on, it will greet you with an update message. Updating was extremely quick and easy using the included cable (or any other USB-c cable you already have). It looks like the company puts out software updates every year, so making sure you are updated is highly recommended. The app interface makes finding the right place to solve problems much easier than going through menu after menu. It looks like a cell phone, and my teenager picked it up so quickly after struggling with a different device. The battery life is great as well. You can plug it up overnight for it to get a full charge, and we usually just plug it in about once a week to make sure it is charged. If you want to try out the calculator without spending $100, you can even download their free app and see just how much easier it is for yourself (but you'll need the real thing for tests like the SAT or AP exams). After using NumWorks, I could never go back to a different calculator.
