• 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 
• Receive one (1)TI-84 Plus Keypad and one (1) TI Connect-to-Class Kit by mail.  Request them from education.ti.com/84keypad/c2c at no added cost. 
• 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

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, and more.
• 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.

TI-Nspire Teacher Software:

• Use TI-Nspire Teacher Software on a computer connected to an LCD projector to explore the software’s built-in SmartView™ Emulator that can be used for classroom demonstration
• Includes the same functionality as the TI-Nspire handheld
• Includes a Question Application that allows educators to create questions such as open response, custom choice, true/false, yes/no, right/wrong, agree/disagree, always/sometimes/never/ and strongly agree/strongly disagree.
