The TI-Nspire line of handhelds have greatly improved hardware compared to older TI graphing calculators running Derive Software. The new LCD screen has a higher resolution (320x240 pixels) and is capable of displaying sixteen shades of grey.
The TI-Nspire line features the ability to display dynamically linked variables from application to application. For example, a calculator application with an equation stored in the variable x might be displayed alongside a graphing application which would graph the shared variable. Changes made to variables made in one application will affect the others in real time. In addition to dynamic variable linking, the TI-Nspire also displays mathematical expressions in "pretty-print", making it possible to enter and display mathematical expressions the way they would be written on a paper.
Every learner has different strengths, needs and preferred learning methods. The TI-Nspire™ learning platform, available as a handheld device and software, can respond flexibly to support a variety of different teaching and learning styles. As a result, learners are able to observe relationships and make connections more effectively and easily in the maths classroom. Content and lessons can be presented and explored in ways that works best for the individual learner. Formulae, tables and visual representations can be seen and explored individually or simultaneously on the same screen - and linked dynamically.
