Texas Instrument’s new product TI-Nspire CAS carries the technology
of the
legendary TI-92 further into a new generation Math/CAS tool.
Its innovative double-platform
design (handheld + 100 % compatible
computer
software) and the seamless integration of the various
components
(computer algebra, graphing, dynamic geometry, geometry,
spreadsheet,
notes, data collection) make it a very powerful
teaching
and learning aid for teachers and students that is unique
on the
market and has great potential.
In this workshop participants will
gently be introduced to the
TI-Nspire
CAS software and will learn how to use the product to
perform
algebraic computations, produce graphs, and generate a
spreadsheet.
