TI Nspire from Texas Instruments is a new handheld graphing calculator destined to math students who need a handy and powerful processing tool during courses.
The calculator features a large display, controls imitating a mouse experience, spreadsheet capabilities like when using a laptop computer, and all are permitted during SAT, ACT and AP tests.
Students can store their work on it as well as access free test preparation software from The Princeton Review and 25 minutes of free online homework help provided by Tutor.com.

"The TI-Nspire graphing calculator has proven its value in my classes," said Eric Butterbaugh, algebra and geometry teacher at Bread & Roses Integrated Arts High School in Harlem, New York. "What used to take days to teach, now takes moments because students can explore and test math relationships on their own. My students now have a deeper understanding of what I teach in the classroom and can apply it in different ways later."


Studies have shown that those who use graphing calculators for learning and during exams, have higher rates, and in addition, Texas Instruments provides several useful solutions such as the possibility to see multiple representations of a problem, individually or together on a single screen, dynamically link representations of a problem to see how changes to one affect others, grab and move graphed functions in real time to observe relationships and patterns, activate the handheld's Press-to-Test feature to block access to certain geometry features not allowed on exams, save and review work in documents, similar to a computer, use handhelds in college entrance and advanced placement exams, and benefit from the upcoming software called TI-Nspire Teacher Edition, an emulator and enhanced document editing tool.

Specifications highlight a dimension of 1.13 x 3.94 x 7.81 inches at 0.64 pounds, a 3.5-inch display with 16-level gray-scale, power required from 4 AAA batteries, 20MB memory for storage, 16MB operating memory, and USB port for computer connectivity.




"It's more critical than ever for students to succeed in math. In fact, statistics from the U.S. department of Labor show that by the time today's high school students graduate from college, more than 6 million jobs will require math, science or engineering skills - 24 percent more than just a
few years ago," said Melendy Lovett, president, Texas Instruments Education Technology. "TI strives to empower students with the tools to deepen their understanding of math concepts. We are excited to offer the TI-Nspire graphing calculator to better equip students to succeed in high school and
be well-prepared for college and beyond."



The price of TI graphing calculators with advanced math capabilities is available at a low price of just $150, and you can watch it in the video.
