    1. TAKS Tutorial Calculator Strategies

    2. When it comes to the calculator, you are on your own… Most teachers who will monitor the test know absolutely nothing about these calculators Even if they did know about the calculator, they are not allowed to assist you in any way

    3. Know how to clear the memory of your calculator If something goes “funky” with the calculator, reset it. 2nd, Memory (+), Reset (7), All RAM (1), Reset (2) 2nd, +, 7, 1, 2

    5. Use the “y=“ to match equations with graphs and/or tables.

    6. If your table jumps around as the last one did and you do not wish to scroll You may set your table to “ASK” you for specific domain (x) values

    7. If your table jumps around as the last one did and you do not wish to scroll You may set your table to “ASK” you for specific domain (x) values

    8. To put your calculator table back to the way it was, either reset or… Go back to TBLSET and put Auto back on for the Indpnt: variable.

    9. Use the “STO” key to store values for variables to match equivalent expressions with more than one variable. You will need to select numbers of your choosing to be the values for the variables in the expression. Please do NOT use 0, 1, or -1 as sometimes things are true of those numbers but not of anything else. Each variable should have a different value stored for it.

    12. The figure described is a rectangle. Draw and label one.

    17. This next problem could be done the same way as the last problem. However, since there is only one variable in this problem (instead of 3 as in the last one) there is another way we can work this one out on the calculator without having to use the STO and TEST keys.

    22. Use STATPLOT to compare points or scatter plots.

    24. To clear any numbers in a list, you may… Reset the calculator (2nd + 7 1 2) which will also reset the window on the graph. 2nd + 4 ClrAllLists Or while in the list, highlight the list name, press CLEAR, and enter. Do NOT delete!

    25. Use the calculator to solve systems.

    27. Know how to use the calculator to change decimals to fractions and vice-versa. Typing in a fraction and pressing ENTER automatically gives you a decimal. To get a fraction from a decimal, use the MATH button. The highlighted option is convert to Fraction Frac

    28. Know how to get back to the home screen. 2nd QUIT will get you there

    29. Be sure to use parentheses when fractions are involved. must go into the calculator as y = (2 – 5x)/7 or else you will get the wrong graph! Check it out! The two lines are NOT the same.

    30. where x = 4 MUST go into the calculator as (4 + 6)/(3•4-1) or else you will get the wrong answer. Check it out and see what happens when you don’t have the parentheses—both sets!

    31. Know how to change your table settings.

    33. There are different settings you can use on the graphs

    34. Practice Problems

    69. Alternate method

    70. Alternate method

    71. Alternate method

    72. This problem was NOT multiple choice. You have to bubble in your answer correctly! Be careful!!! After going through all that work to get the correct answer, you don’t want the problem to be scored as wrong because you didn’t bubble in the answer properly!

    73. Remember, all past tutorials can be found on Mrs. Nelson’s website. There is a link to that site on the Spring High webpage. Your teachers will be ready to answer any questions you might have in class tomorrow and Monday. Come to take the test RESTED! Look at the posted roll sheets to see what day(s) you are testing and where.

    74. We have confidence in YOU! You should have confidence in YOU! Remember, you only need to get a few more than half of the problems correct to pass this test! Do what you know how to do FIRST!
