Data collection for the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator

Sensors for math

Transform math lessons with a wide range of sensors that engage students through hands-on exploration and real-world applications.

Use sensors to provide interactive, hands-on math lessons

Give students the tools to collect data in real time and investigate essential math concepts in more ways.

Linear and nonlinear relationships:

Easily link up with Vernier sensors to measure quantities like motion over time, and create graphs that visually connect distance, rate and time — and even explore linear and non-linear motion.

Rates of change:

With sensors like the CBR™ 2 motion sensor, students can explore how velocity and acceleration relate to position over time, transforming the study of derivatives and integrals into fun, interactive lessons.

Exponential relationships:

The Vernier EasyTemp® sensor lets students gather temperature data instantly. Make graphs, apply regression techniques, and interpret models to give meaning to real-world phenomena.

Get students moving with math


With the CBR™ 2 motion sensor, students jump out of their seats to actively explore mathematical models and relationships with their own data.

Watch the video to learn from real teachers about incorporating the motion sensor into math lessons, featuring an easy activity to try out with your students!

Easily pair the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator with a wide range of Vernier sensors to bring hands-on exploration into the classroom. Explore key concepts by using mathematical tools like graphing, regression, and function modeling to analyze real-world data.

Your students can measure and analyze:

  • Motion
  • Temperature
  • Light intensity
  • Force
  • And more!
