TI-Nspire™ Handheld and Software

TI has developed a new line of products called TI-Nspire. This product line includes handhelds and software that provide teachers with flexibility and versatility to meet different needs in the math classroom.

These new learning products allow students to:

• See algebraic, graphical, geometric, numeric and written representations of a problem.
• Link different representations of a problem to see how changes to one affect others.
• Use built-in interactive geometry to enhance the exploration of graphs.
• Enter and review expressions and formulas as seen in a textbook.
• Experience identical functionality between TI-Nspire handheld and TI-Nspire computer software.
• Explore topics from algebra to calculus.

Two different handhelds are available: TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS. TI-Nspire includes a TI-84 Plus keyboard that can be used to replace the standard keyboard that comes with the handheld. This facilitates the transition from the TI-83 Plus and TI-84 Plus families of calculators to TI-Nspire.

The TI-Nspire CAS handheld includes built-in CAS (Computer Algebra System) capabilities, which enables students to explore and manipulate mathematical expressions in symbolic form.

Windows versions of TI-Nspire software and TI-Nspire CAS software are available. Visit www.vernier.com/calc/tinspire.html for more information.
