A tenth grader may need a calculator that is allowed by the college board for use on AP exams. There are very strict restrictions regarding what is allowed (and neither the ipod nor the iphone is allowed). You will need to know what exam(s) she intends to take in order to determine what calculator is allowed.
Here is a list of AP courses with links to what calculators are allowed.

If she needs one for a standard class, then contact the teacher to see what is allowed or what the school suggests. Most teachers will not allow calculators on smartphones or ipods due to the built-in cameras.
