TI-84
Student math device
The TI-84 is a graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments, ubiquitous in American high school and college math classes since the early 2000s.
Its dominance in standardized testing and curriculum has made it nearly synonymous with graphing calculator itself: Does anyone have a TI-84 I can borrow for the exam?
The chunky device and its pixelated screen have become iconic classroom imagery.
