Agreed. My middle school math? Haha, That thing could've got me through it (a much smaller version at least). But hey, guess it depends on your curriculum, ours back then was very easy. Now if you take algebra in 8th like I did, then you may want to get a graphing calculator. I don't have any suggestions personally, they supplied us with TI-89's. And you seem a little nervous about middle school... I don't blame ya, but try to ease up a little. You'll be fine :) That won't work because you need sines, cosines and tangents as well as square roots. There is nothing that calculator can do that a person can't do in their heads... Oh, and not trying being a pessimist or anything, but middle school can really suck. Don't worry though, high school is well worth it.
