Texas Instruments Review & Giveaway

The TI Nspire is a helpful tool for a lot more than crunching numbers. You can leave notes,  graphing, and making documents. I immediately used it and loved it i was able to do complicated problems with ease.The interchangeable key boards are helpful. One for old fashioned graphing calculators and a one new one.

The new board is a little complicated but with the instructions i was able to use it without disparage. I now use it daily for homework and it is more helpful than using a scientific calculator. It is faster than some graphing calculators and  i like the size of the screen.

You are able to mess with the word size and several other things. The instructions are easy to follow and is easy to get used to it. Normal calculators are able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide. The TI NSpire has the order of  operations. Like with a normal calculator 5+5x 10 is 100 but on the TI NSpire it is 55. Also the TI NSpire can do powers, pie, and be able to square numbers with the touch of a button.
