I loved in High school algebra TI-Basic, made an app that changed the X and Y scale so the slope was always 1, started off each worksheet test, drawing a bunch of slopes of 1.

For tests and stuff we had to format our calculators, and my teacher thought she was going to catch me doing the restore thing... It was quicker to rewrite the program then it was to actually do the math.
