Texas Instrument TI-Nspire handheld graphing calculator teacher kit

Grab-and-Move feature allows you to make changes to a graph in real time to observe mathematical relationships and the impact of changes.

The innovative capabilities of TI-Nspire™ technology include the ability to create, edit and save problem solving in documents and pages similar to the word processing and file storage features of a computer.

For students, this provides an easy and organized way to review and revise work. It also helps them present their problem-solving techniques and explain each step, allowing educators to effectively assess their critical thinking and guide progress.

For educators, TI-Nspire technology offers many benefits that can help impact student performance:

• Documents can be sent to student TI-Nspire handhelds at the beginning of the lesson, focusing the class on the subject matter faster and maximizing time spent on task.
• The sequence of tasks can be organized more effectively to guide student understanding.
• Activities can be quickly assigned to students and collected using Connect-to-Class™ teacher software.

The TI-Nspire handheld comes with a snap-in TI-84 Plus Keypad that provides the same keystrokes as TI-83 Plus, TI-84 Plus and TI-84 Plus Silver Edition graphing calculators.

Whether handhelds are provided by your school or your students bring in personally-owned units, this side-by-side compatibility between TI-Nspire handhelds and existing TI graphing calculators delivers you a comfortable transition to TI-Nspire technology. Simply pop out the TI-Nspire Keypad and snap in the TI-84 Plus Keypad. It's fast and easy, and fits securely into place.

With either keypad snapped in, the TI-Nspire handheld can be used by students on high-stakes exams that permit TI-83 Plus and/or TI-84 Plus models, such as SAT*, ACT*, PSAT* and AP* exams. See Exam Acceptance.

• Cabri™ Jr.
• Inequalities Graphing
• Periodic Table
• Probability Simulations
• Science Tools
• StudyCards™

The TI-84 Plus Keypad allows you and your students to continue using current TI educational technology that you may already have in your classroom:

• The TI-Navigator™ system (version 2.0 or 3.0 software).
• Data collection tools: TI's CBR 2™ (motion detector) and CBL 2™ data collection devices, and Vernier Software & Technology's EasyTemp™ temperature sensor and EasyLink™ sensor interface.
