I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

Today’s review features a detailed look at the Mastering the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator: Augmented Intelligence for all 21st Century Students workbook. Triad Math, Inc. created this book to help teach your children how to use the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator with proficiency.

PRODUCT DETAILS:
Mastering the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator: Augmented Intelligence for all 21st Century Students includes 25 lessons for mastering the use of the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator. Each lesson includes detailed written instructions for each topic that is covered. The course starts simply with turning the device on, turning it off, and locating frequently used function keys. By the middle of the book, your child is learning how to use this calculator when working with proper and improper fractions. By the end of this book your child will know all about using this device for density, weight, volume, area, radius, correctly entering metric prefixes, and more. The student will practice each item several times but can definitely add more practice until they feel confident to move on.

Purchasing this book also provides INSTANT ACCESS to the online video tutorials via Moodle. Moodle is Triad Math, Inc. virtual Learning Management System that provides video tutorials, notes, and exercises to accompany the book. The online program begins with a pre-test to assess what your child already knows. From there the videos follow the syllabus provided in the book contents. To gain basic knowledge, the initial 15 Lessons give an introduction and additional insight into what will be covered in higher-level mathematics. These lessons are shorter and can go by quickly, especially if your child is familiar with this calculator and understands decimals. Lessons 16 through 20 are designed for children taking Trigonometry and can be postponed. The final five lessons are for students in even higher-level math courses.

Mastering the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator: Augmented Intelligence for all 21st Century Students is available for purchase from the company website and Amazon. It is also important to note that you must have the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator to use this course. These calculators can be purchased at various retailers online and in-store for approximately $12 or less. After working through a few lessons with your TI-30Xa future math courses like Trigonometry will now be much easier to pass.

OUR ROUTINE & FINAL THOUGHTS

I had Bear work through the first 15 lessons in this book. Initially, he used the Moodle videos to help him but eventually, he was able to just work through the book. After a few weeks, Bear was able to confidently use this calculator. I even expressed how I wish this book was around when I was his age. I also appreciated the message with teaching tips and encouragement for parents. Though he isn’t ready for Trigonometry, the lessons he was able to complete helped prepare him to use this instrument for upcoming 8th-grade math courses. He felt the instructions were clear, the information provided was detailed, and the tips about possible errors were necessary. Knowing that mistakes could be made and how to adjust gave him peace of mind while working through Mastering the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator: Augmented Intelligence for all 21st Century Students. We recommend this Triad Math, Inc. product for students ready to use the TI-30Xa Scientific Calculator.
