Texas Instruments NSPIRE CX-CAS Graphic Calculator with Touchpad

The new TI-Nspire CX CAS handheld device and companion software are designed to generate opportunities for classroom exploration and to promote greater understanding of core concepts in the mathematics and science classroom. TI-Nspire technology has been developed through sound classroom research which shows that linked multiple representation are crucial in development of conceptual understanding and it is feasible only through use of a technology such as TI-Nspire, which provides simultaneous, dynamically linked representations of graphs, equations, data, and verbal explanations, such that a change in one representation is immediately reflected in the others. In addition to the flexibility offered by TI-Nspires clear, menu-driven document structure, the CX handheld device is enhanced by a backlit colour screen with the ability to import images, bringing concepts to life. The CAS version enables the manipulation of mathematical expressions and functions. The device also includes a rechargeable battery.

Features:

• Different representations can share dynamically-linked data using the TI-Nspire applications: Calculator, Graphs, Geometry, Lists & Spreadsheet, Data & Statistics, Notes, Questions and new Vernier DataQuest. Users can also split the screen, enabling up to four applications to be viewed simultaneously.
• Users can experience the same interface on the TI-Nspire CX handheld device and in the TI-Nspire software, enabling integration with existing classroom ICT infrastructure and projection systems to offer whole class teaching and personalised learning opportunities. TI-Nspire works with all major interactive whiteboard technologies.
• Import colour/black and white images from online sources or from your own digital archive and overlay graphs and other elements.
• Explore surfaces by rotating them, investigate intersections of a surface with a plane and create animations using sliders to understand how changing different parameters affect objects with TI-Nspires 3D Graphing View
• Create, edit, save and share work in documents within a familiar folder structure.
• Vernier DataQuest supports data logging for collection and analysis of real-life data in the maths classroom and in science experiments.
• Ideal for all mathematical topics, such as graphing, geometry, statistics, data logging and more.
• USB port supports handheld to handheld communication and connection to a computer or other presentation technology.
• CAS (Computer Algebra System) enables manipulation of mathematical expressions and functions. Includes Symbolic Algebra, Symbolic Calculus, Symbolic Linear Differential Equations, Symbolic Equation Solver, Symbolic Units of Measure and Constants.
• With the addition of the TI-Nspire CX Navigator system, the handhelds can be part of an integrated wireless classroom network.
• Memory: Free memory: 99.7MB.
• Total memory: 115.2MB
• High resolution, 240 x 320 pixels high-contrast display on the handheld
