We're going to start Foerster's Precalculus tomorrow. Does anyone have any advice on choosing problems or on learning more about using a TI graphing calculator. (We have the manual--but there's nothing "user friendly" about it.

There are some video tutorials that we found helpful on www.hotmath.com

There were also some on the texas instruments website.

You really need the TM to help choose the right problems. You definitely don't want to do them all. The TM will also help with appropriate pacing. It is not a one section a day type book. As far as the calculator - the manuals are AWFUL!!!! When I want to figure out something on my TI - I just google the topic with "TI" in the search. It works every time!
