Features and Functionality
- Features all the functionality of TI-Nspire family technology, plus built-in Computer Algebra System (CAS) capabilities.
- Color, backlit display
- Ability to utilize images (jpeg, jpg, bmp, png file formats) and overlay with graphical elements on screen
- 3D graphing
- Includes an easy-glide Touchpad that works more like a computer with a mouse.
- Allows students to explore mathematical expressions in symbolic form, see patterns and understand the math behind the formulas.
- See multiple representations of a single problem – algebraic, graphical, geometric, numeric and written.
- Explore individual representations, one at a time, or as many as four on the same screen.
- Grab a graphed function and move it to see the effect on corresponding equations and data lists
- "Link" representations: Manipulate the properties of one and observe instant updates to others without switching screens
- Solve equations while avoiding arithmetic errors
- Factor, expand expressions and solve for common denominators
- Built-in interactive geometry capabilities.
- Easy-to-use computer features:
- Simple drop-down menus – emulate the intuitive operation of familiar computer features
- Quick alpha keys
- Save and review work – create, edit and save problem solving in documents and pages similar to the word processing and file storage features of a computer.
- Connectivity – easily link with another TI-Nspire family handheld or a PC for easy file transfer
- Features a dedicated programming environment as well as programming libraries for global access to user-defined functions & programs
TI-Nspire Applications
- CALCULATOR – Enter and view expressions, equations and formulas exactly as they appear in math textbooks. Quickly and easily select the proper syntax, symbols and variables from a template that supports standard mathematical notation. Scroll through previous entries to explore outcomes and patterns.
- GRAPHS – Graph and explore functions, animate points on objects or graphs and explain their behavior, and much more.
- GEOMETRY – Create and explore geometric shapes.
- LISTS & SPREADSHEET – Capture and track the values of a graph and collected data, and observe number patterns. Organize the results of statistical analysis. Capabilities similar to using computer spreadsheets: label columns, insert formulas into cells, select individual cells and change their size.
- DATA & STATISTICS – Summarize statistical data using different graphical methods. Manipulate and explore data – watch how changes in data can affect the statistical analysis. Create "quick graphs." Perform a variety of descriptive and inferential statistical calculations on real data sets.
- NOTES – Put the math in writing. Include the word problem with its solutions and explain problem-solving approaches – right in the handheld or computer software. Question-and-answer templates allow educators to prompt students to show solutions.
- VERNIER DATAQUEST APP – Create a hypothesis graphically and replay data collection experiments. Use in conjunction with the TI-Nspire Lab Cradle.
Research
- Students learn mathematical concepts more readily with deeper understanding when they learn across different forms of representation
- Students using TI-Nspire handhelds have demonstrated deeper understanding and greater abilities in drawing inferences
- Appropriate use of TI-Nspire technology can facilitate use of shared resources for collaborative learning, high student engagement, and a novel, integrated format for instructional units. Beliefs that the calculator is an aid to learning mathematics (not just an efficiency device)
