Ideal for Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1&2, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-calc, Statistics, Business & Finance, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Calculus, AP Statistics, AP Physics, AP Calculus, and Engineering (Electrical and Mechanical) and Linear Algebra. Full-color display with backlit capability. Touchpad navigation works more like a laptop computer. Ability to utilize images and overlay with graphical elements on screen. Powered by a TI-Nspire Rechargeable Battery. Unit includes: TI-Nspire Student Software for home use by students to continue and/or complete assigned work outside of the classroom. View multiple representations of a single problem on screen, at the same time. Make changes to one representation of a problem and instantly see how it affects other dynamically linked representations. Built-in interactive geometry capabilities. Navigate easily between screens and functions using the intuitive, computer-style interface that includes drop-down menus and simlified cursor controls. Enter text easily using individual (alpha) letter keys. Create and save problem-solving steps as electronic TI-Nspire documents similar to those on a computer. Link directly to another TI-Nspire or TI-Nspire CAS handheld or a computer.

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.
* 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.
* VERNIER DATAQUEST APP Create a hypothesis graphically and replay data collection experiments. Use in conjunction with the TI-Nspire Lab Cradle.
Research
* Students learn mathematical concepts more readily with deeper understanding when they learn across different forms of representation
* Students using TI-Nspire handhelds have demonstrated deeper understanding and greater abilities in drawing inferences
* Appropriate use of TI-Nspire technology can facilitate use of shared resources for collaborative learning, high student engagement, and a novel, integrated format for instructional units. Beliefs that the calculator is an aid to learning mathematics (not just an efficiency device)
