The TI-Nspire CAS handheld and computer software help educators incorporate CAS (Computer Algebra System) as a tool for students to explore, evaluate and simplify expressions, numeric problems and variables in symbolic form.
Extend learning beyond the classroom
TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire CAS handhelds and computer software provide students the option to use any of these as a stand-alone learning tool, at school and at home, extending the learning process beyond the classroom.
Educators have the option to incorporate CAS into their instruction, using TI-Nspire CAS technology that is designed to help students:
- Learn to solve equations step-by-step while avoiding common arithmetic errors.
- Spend more time on specific math topics, from algebra through calculus.
- Factor and expand expressions and solve common denominators.
- See patterns and grasp the math behind the formulas.
- Find common denominators
TI-Nspire CAS technology is also compatible with the same accessories as TI-Nspire technology, including:
- TI-Nspire Computer Link Software
- Connect-to-Class™ teacher software
- TI-Nspire ViewScreen™ panel
- TI's CBR 2™ motion detector
- Vernier's EasyTemp™ temperature sensor
Comparably priced
The TI-Nspire CAS handheld is priced comparably to the TI-89 Titanium graphing calculator.
Exam acceptance
The TI-Nspire CAS handheld can be used by students on high-stakes exams that permit TI-83 Plus and/or TI-84 Plus models, such as SAT, PSAT and AP exams.
Multiple representations
With TI-Nspire™ technology, you can see multiple representations of a single problem. Graphical, geometric, numeric, algebraic and written representations can be explored individually or up to four at a time on the same screen. Simply choose available split-screen options from a drop-down menu to select the number of representations and how to arrange them.
Dynamically linked representations
With TI-Nspire™ technology, the different representations of a problem can be dynamically linked together. This means that changes made to one representation are automatically reflected in others of that same problem, all in real time.
Deeper understanding
Research shows that students learn mathematical concepts more readily and with deeper understanding when they learn across different forms of representation. When they are able to see the math in different ways - through multiple representations - they begin to broaden their critical thinking skills and make meaningful connections.
