Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS Color Graphing Calculator with Student Software (PC/Mac)

Product Information

Let me explain that in more detail. Judging based on polls I’ve run in the past on Tech Powered Math, I’ve found that there’s actually more interest among TPM readers in the TI-Nspire CX II CAS than there is in the TI-Nspire CX II. If you’re unaware of what a CAS calculator is, it is a Computer Algebra System calculator. This means the calculator has the ability to do algebraic manipulations on variables, such as x + x = 2x. This is a great thing if you plan to take the SAT or AP Calculus, where this type of calculator is encouraged, but not so great if you are taking the ACT, where it is banned.

When comparing the TI-Nspire CX II vs. TI-Nspire CX II CAS, the difference is that TI-Nspire CX II CAS has a computer algebra system (CAS), meaning it can do algebraic operations, while the TI-Nspire CX does not. This means the TI-Nspire CX II CAS is not legal for the ACT test.

Six different graph styles and 15 colors to select from for differentiating the look of each graph drawn In 2011, Texas Instruments released the CX line of their TI-Nspire calculators which effectively replaced the previous generation. The updates included improvements to the original's keyboard layout, an addition of a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, 3D graphing capabilities and reduced form factor. [3] TI got rid of the removable keypad with this generation and therefore, the TI-84 compatibility mode. The TI-Nspire is a graphing calculator line made by Texas Instruments, with the first version released on 25 September 2007. [1] [ bettersourceneeded] The calculators feature a non- QWERTY keyboard and a different key-by-key layout than Texas Instruments's previous flagship calculators such as the TI-89 series.

Six TI-authored modules that are additional libraries for Python's functionality. The new modules are: Texas Instruments continues to be extremely active in training teachers how to teach with their TI-Nspire platform as well. “Get Nspired” is more than a catch phrase. They hold webinars demonstrating engaging ways to use the Nspire CX II that are of extremely high quality. Additionally, the last couple of years, they’ve started a series of initiatives like STEM Behind Hollywood, STEM Behind Health, mISSion imaginaTIon. These partnerships with powerful groups like the entertainment industry and NASA show students how mathematics and science can be applied in exciting fields, all of course, with your TI-Nspire graphing calculator.

Below are major changes that were made. These features have stayed with the Nspire series to date. Three statistical plot definitions for scatter plots, xy-line plots, histograms, regular and modified box-and-whisker plots, and normal probability plots Math Nspired Teaching Resource Centercomprises a comprehensive online library of TI-Nspire™ math classroom activities and curriculum content optimized for TI-Nspire™ technology. All the same features that make TI-Nspire™ CX graphing calculators ideal for maths and science from middle grades to college are in the next-gen TI-Nspire™ CX II-T models. What does all of this mean for potential buyers of a new TI-Nspire CX II? There are some appreciated new changes to the hardware, such as the faster processor. This will keep students and teachers nimbly moving along in situations that might have bogged down the older model (my students used to love to have dozens and dozens of tabs open on the original TI-Nspire CX until it ground to a halt). I will also say that I’ve noted the battery on the TI-Nspire CX II will hold a charge for a really long time when not in daily use–think months–much like the TI-84 Plus CE.

Advanced statistics analysis, including 10 hypothesis testing functions, seven confidence interval functions and one-way analysis of variance The navigator system allows teachers to connect multiple TI-Nspire calculators to a computer through the TI-Nspire Access Point and TI-Nspire Navigator Wireless Cradles. The system includes the TI-Nspire cradle charging bay and the main system which looks like a wireless router. The Navigator system was first available when the first generation Nspires were launched, but when the TI-Nspire CX and CX CAS were released, a new wireless adapter was announced that is smaller but not compatible with the TI-Nspire and TI-Nspire Touchpad. Texas Instruments developed their own proprietary System-On-Chip from the ARM9 32-bit processors. The first generation of the TI-Nspire is based on LSI Corporation's (now Broadcom Inc.) "Zevio" design while the CX and CX II generation is built with Toshiba's Application-Specific Integrated Circuit design.TI-Nspire™ Documents (.tns files) — compatible with TI-Nspire™ software, TI-Nspire™ graphing calculators and TI-Nspire™ Apps for iPad ®— can be created, edited, saved and reviewed If you’re in the market for a new graphing calculator, a TI-Nspire CX II or TI-Nspire CX II CAS would be my choice. The original TI-Nspire CX models are still available for sale in many locations, but I’d go for the new model so you can feel confident about several years of OS support. However, if you already own the older TI-Nspire CX or CX CAS, I don’t think you need to be in too much of a hurry to upgrade. The upgrades in the CX II models are nice, but they are incremental and not so dramatic that I’d be rushing out to replace a still great device. The TI-Nspire CX II and TI-Nspire CX II CAS are not the cheapest graphing calculators available today, but they are well worth the price, and I highly recommend them. Years ago, when Texas Instruments debuted the TI-Nspire, it had a few warts, but with each year, they’ve continued to make massive improvements to both the hardware and software. Even at the beginning, I was impressed with how much faster kids caught on to features like fractions, graphing, and tables on the TI-Nspire than they did on the TI-84. From remedial Algebra through AP Calculus and my Illinois State Championship Math Team, the TI-Nspire CX II is my top choice for my students.
