I am a bit out of date with these, are these generally allowed to be used for a 7 grader and for tests?

I have a TI83 from high school, i remember there were some models that we weren't' allowed to use

I would strongly recommend people compare with Casio graphing calculators, especially in regards to the computational speed. This video does an excellent comparison [youtube.com] between the Casio FX-CG50 and the TI-84 Plus CE color graphing calculators. The Casio absolutely blows away the TI in calculation speed. See the 5:42 and the 6:35 mark for sample calculation and graphing head to head speed comparisons.

Both Target [target.com] and Amazon [amazon.com] are currently selling the Casio FX-CG50 for $81. And if you don't need a color screen, the Casio FX-9750GIII is available for around $50.

The main issue that students may encounter is that some teachers only want TI calculators in class because that is what they use to demonstrate calculations with. CASIO has a Youtube playlist [youtube.com] that shows how to do functions on the Casio compared to how they are done on the TI, so a smart kid should be able to figure things out without the teacher's help.

Your main issue is a big one.

As a nerd, contrarian, and former (terrible) math teacher, I get the appeal of the Casio models.

However, also as a former (terrible) math teacher, I think it's important to recognize that a lot of students are sometimes hanging on by a thread in math class. For a kid who doesn't quite "have it" yet, pushing a slightly different button to enter an equation or having the default scale on the graph be a little different can be a really big problem.

Overkill for 7th graders (might touch upon this at the tail end of the school year). This is for high school.

Same price as Walmart which gives you a 90 day return (in case it turns out high school math teacher prefers another model over this).

Is it 90 days even for calculators? Isn't this considered an electronic and therefore subject to 30 return?

Calculator is 90 days. Applicable return period is listed on product page.

Walmart policy detailing what is 30 days.

Yes! And Legend of Zelda, too! Here's a video on installing a Gameboy [youtube.com] Color emulator on the Casio FX-CG50 to play any GameBoy game.

EDIT: Newer video [youtube.com] showing how to play NES games as well on this calculator.
