This means that in practice the C Silver Edition is actually slower than the regular Silver Edition and even the regular TI-84 Plus. As we said before, the regular Silver Edition and the C Silver Edition have the exact same processor, but the C Silver Edition has to support a better screen. This is an advantage in most cases, but not when it comes to speed. First and most obviously the screen has color, but along with that it has a higher resolution, and it’s backlit. The only thing that got an upgrade on this calculator was the screen and the batteries. The Difference is the “C” which stands for Color. Also, once again, the software is almost identical. This calculator has the exact same processor as the regular Silver Edition. Next, we have the TI-84 Plus C Silver Edition. For most people, this will not be a noticeable feature difference. For a small price difference, is that the Silver Edition comes with 2 MB of read only memory while the TI-84 Plus only has 1 MB. The Silver Edition was released in the same year as the original TI-84 Plus, but the Silver edition was the more premium model. This calculator is the oldest and most basic version of the TI-84 yet it remains one of the best selling graphing calculators in the world. We also have an article explaining the differences. This is the original TI-84 Plus calculator released in 2004 along with the next calculator on the list, the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition. ![]() Keep in mind that the differences are subtle, each version has the same calculating capabilities. In this article we will explain the differences between each calculator. Over the years there have been a handful of different versions that Texas Instruments has released. It's also supported by SAT exam administrator The College Board, which endorses it for drills, practice exams and curriculum assessments.The TI-84 is the most popular, best selling graphing calculator in the world and has been for quite some time. It's backed by the world's largest education company, Pearson PLC, which uses it for its enVision high-school math program. TI has monopolized the graphing calculator market for years, but Desmos has made rapid inroads since it launched its calculator app in 2011. Not cheap: the TI-84 graphing calculator (Getty Images) It's used by students in 146 countries and racks up over 300,000 hours of use per month, the company says. ![]() Thanks to an earlier deal with Smarter Balanced, it also provides accessibility features for the blind and visually impaired. The Desmos calculator is more advanced than the TI-84 or other devices, offering a friendlier interface, live graphing updates, and free access via a smartphone, tablet or any other connected device. The calculator is free to use, and the company makes money by charging organizations to use it, according to Bloomberg. It'll also be available to students in grades 6 through 8 and high school throughout the year. The Desmos calculator will be embedded directly into the assessments, meaning students will have access during tests with no need for an external device. "We think students shouldn't have to buy this old, underpowered device anymore," Desmos CEO Eli Luberoff told Quartz. Starting this spring, pupils in 14 US states will be able to use the TI-like Desmos online calculator during standardized testing run by the Smarter Balanced consortium. ![]() Math students have a love-hate relationship with the funky, expensive TI-84 graphing calculators, but thanks to a new deal, they'll soon get a free option.
