3. fully integrated technology Multiple representations, dynamically linked, encouraging multiple approaches to solving problems and expressing solutions. A complete set of easy-to-use mathematical tools for algebra, number, geometry, statistics and real-world data collection - all in one package. Working documents can be saved, recalled, edited and transferred between handheld, PC and Mac - and distributed electronically! An optimal tool for concept and skill development across the secondary school years.

4. what is TI-Nspire CAS? Just imagine… The algebraic power of the TI-89T… The statistical and graphical power of the TI-84Plus… The interactive geometry of the Voyage 200… Now integrate these with spreadsheeting, real-world data collection and more…

5. TI-Nspire CAS integrates list and spreadsheet capabilities, supporting… what is TI-Nspire CAS? real-world data collection and a complete range of easy-to-use menu-driven statistical functions.

6. how is TI-Nspire CAS different to the TI-89T? Consider this problem: At exactly what value of x do the curves y = a x and y = log a (x) kiss? Using the TI-89T… 1. INVESTIGATE GRAPHICALLY By trial and error, define various values for “a” and observe the effect on the graph. 2. BUILD AN ALGEBRAIC SOLUTION Carefully solve the problem algebraically – ensuring that all expressions are entered correctly!

7. TI-Nspire CAS: different to the TI-89T? How? Consider this problem: At exactly what value of x do the curves y = a x and y = log a (x) kiss? Using TI-Nspire CAS… 1. Easily create a slider and explore many possible values for “a”. Label algebraic objects correctly using templates. 2. Use templates to easily and correctly enter all expressions: input and output both expressed in mathematical notation! 3. Students use Notes to explain their thinking and describe the solution process.
