Note on Calculators

For the Target and Team rounds of the competition, calculators are allowed. The rules allow any type of calculator (even programmable ones), as long as they do not have a qwerty-style keyboard and as long as they do not have an Internet connection.

High-end choices include the TI-NSpire CX CAS series of calculators or the classic TI-84. We will borrow some of these calculators for the school competition, but you may also purchase one for your child.

I have purchased a set of simpler calculators which I will bring and loan to students for practices. These calculators are simpler to operate compared to the high-end ones, but they support some essential operations such as computing combinations and reducing fractions.
