Uses of features on the TI-Nspire
In this video tutorial on the TI-Nspire, viewers will learn how to use some of the calculator's advanced features and functionality. These include creating function transformations with sliders, using data and statistics pages for dot plots, bar graphs, histograms, and box plots, using split panes for tables and graphs, creating geometry constructions, and utilizing data capture for investigative analysis of geometric figures. Additionally, the video highlights the availability of free downloadable activities and the ability to swap in a TI-84+ keypad. With these tools and abilities, the TI-Nspire becomes a powerful and versatile calculator for math students and professionals alike.
This is a video tutorial on how to use some of the cool features and functionality of the TI-Nspire.
