Before you buy a pricey graphing calculator for your child’s pre-calculus class, call your school to see if they offer calculator rental programs. Just make sure you know the rental fee – often it’s best to scan eBay, Amazon or Craigslist for better deals.

  • If your school doesn’t have a program, try graphtor.com, which rents various models of Texas Instruments calculators for as low as $11 a month.
