You can navigate between screens by using your RIGHT and LEFT arrow keys. There are three menus to choose from: EXEC, EDIT, NEW. Navigate to the programming screen by pressing the PRGM button. Begin creating a program by pressing the ON button.Ģ. ENTER: The enter button submits or executes a commands.ġ. MEM (2ND, +): The memory button is used to delete programs or check storage. PRGM: The program button brings you to the programming interface. CLEAR: The clear button clears the existing line, and also backs out of a menu. ARROW KEYS: The UP key moves the cursor up, the DOWN key moves the cursor down, the LEFT key moves the cursor left, and the RIGHT key moves the cursor right. DEL: The delete button deletes the existing character ON: The on button activates your calculator STO>: The store button allows you to store something, often a numerical number, into a specified variable. TEST (2ND, MATH): The test button brings you to a menu that holds operators (i.e. Exit the A-LOCK mode by pressing the ALPHA button.Į. A-LOCK (2ND, ALPHA): The A-LOCK button is used to type using the alphabetical buttons without having to press ALPHA before every character. You can lock the ALPHA button by using A-LOCK.ĭ. The green letters above buttons correspond to the alphabetical buttons. ALPHA: The alphabet button allows you to use the other keys as alphabetical buttons. 2ND: The 2ND button is used to execute secondary buttons in blue.Ĭ. QUIT (2ND, MODE): The quit button is used to exit out of a current menu/screenī. There are many other versions of this calculator that will work with these instructions, but we will cover the instruction using the TI-84 Plus.Ī. The only required equipment that is essential to completing these instructions is the Texas Instruments 84 Plus Graphing Calculator. It is important to check with your professors before using programs on exams! In many cases this can lead to an accusation of cheating, even if you created the program yourself. While programs can help get to an answer more efficiently, it is not always the best practice to use programs in situations like: learning new material, practicing mathematical assignments, and taking exams. Programs help users whom execute many of the same computations clerically. We will be using every button that is mentioned. It is important for users new to the TI-84 Plus to carefully go through the instructions and get familiar with buttons that are used. These instructions are intended for beginners in programming, there is no need to know any programming knowledge prior to these instructions. Following these instructions shows you how to program using the Texas Instruments 84 Plus. Programming is a process that leads from an original formulation of a problem to an executable-computing program.
