This is the EXACT same calculator that my child's school system uses. It is great that he has the opportunity to use the same tools that he has in school. This should really help with his homework. I even like the fraction conversion functions. I even refer to it myself when I want to ensure I converted a fraction correctly. This is a great calculator for a Middle School student / 6th grader. I didn't really compare this to other calculators as his school was already using this calculator. But if the school uses it - how can you go wrong with a name like Texas Instruments. I used a TI-82 in high school growing up and although it was complicated it did make my work easier in the long run. The TI-15 is much simpler but has enough functions to help the average 6th grader get his work done. User manual for the TI15 can be easily found online.Read full review
The TI Explorer is an excellent support tool for math problem solving in graders 3-6. While there is no substitute for knowing math facts, the student's focus should be the "how" of story and multi-step problems. The TI-15 allows the student to manage the computation quickly and is a basic part of the math instruction in my classroom. They are durable, with large keys for small fingers and there is an overhead TI-15 for classroom instruction. I have used them in my own classroom and I bought one for my grandchildren.

Solid, basic calculator. It is all I need. Works fine. Good deal.

If you have a 5th grader and are not great in math, this is what you need. Even if you are great, this allows you to check your work with accuaracy. This is the same thing the teachers use and is now a must. We do not teach manual anymore, we teach how to use the calculator and this does it all. Like it or not, agree with the process or not, its what you got to have if you have a 3rd through 5th grader!
