Enlarge and Display Screen TI ViewScreen With a TI ViewScreen, it's a snap to enlarge and project a TI calculator's display so the entire class can see it easily. This special LCD panel Also called a "projection panel," it is a data projector that accepts computer output and displays it on a see-through liquid crystal screen that is placed on top of an overhead projector. See data projector. works with any regular overhead projector. Each ViewScreen set includes a carrying case, the ViewScreen LCD panel, AC adapter Same as power adapter. , guidebook, ViewScreen calculator, calculator-to-calculator link, a poster and transparency sheets. An overhead projector is not included. ViewScreen panels are also available separately. Three separate versions are compatible with a range of Texas Instruments products. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Gets Whole Class Involved TI-Presenter How do you engage a roomful of students? Show them math in action using TI-Presenter, which can display a TI handheld's screen in real time on a television screen. The unit is a video interface for TI's graphing calculators Graphing Calculator may refer to:
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Making Connections TI Connectivity Kit TI Connect link software is all new, designed as a universal tool for most TI handhelds. The cable and software package is how you connect your calculator to a PC or Mac, and thus the Internet, to update software and download applications. A simple, clean interface helps teachers and students to easily back up and restore data, as well as transfer screen shots, programs and files between their computers and TI handhelds. TI GRAPH-LINK--with versions for Mac, PCs and Macs with USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. ports--remains available and supported. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] High school standard TI-83 Plus The TI-83 Plus is the best selling graphing calculator in the U.S. and Canada. Best suited for high school, the TI-83 Plus is easy-to-use in classes ranging from algebra through pre-calculus and biology to physics. It also has advanced statistics and financial features. Enhanced Flash technology provides flexibility and long-term value by allowing you to add software applications, upgrade the OS, and improve functionality. It can store up to 10 apps from among TI's offerings of a spreadsheet, a personal organizer, StudyCards viewer and maker, plus programs for graphing, geometry, science and math. The TI-83 Plus is approved for most state and national tests. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Faster, smarter TI-83 Plus, Silver Edition Encased en·case tr.v. en·cased, en·cas·ing, en·cas·es To enclose in or as if in a case. en·case  ment n. in metallic silver, the TI-83 Plus Silver Edition is 2.5 times faster that its sibling and boasts more memory too, enough to hold 94 Apps. And it comes pre-loaded with nine Apps, including a PIM-style organizer, probability simulator, periodic table, CBL/CBR app, and CellSheet spreadsheet. TI GRAPH-LINK for Windows, for connecting the handheld to a PC, is also included. Of special note, the software development kit allows student to create and share their own applications, and students nationwide have developed freeware Software that is distributed without charge and which may be redistributed without charge by its users. However, ownership is retained by the developer who may change future releases from freeware to a paid product (feeware). See shareware, free software and public domain software. for the Silver Edition. Such applications cover topics such as astronomy, time-zone computations and fractions and decimals. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Suits Advanced Math TI-89 For high school AP students and in college, the Computer Algebra System A computer algebra system (CAS) is a software program that facilitates symbolic mathematics. The core functionality of a CAS is manipulation of mathematical expressions in symbolic form. is an important tool; but was usually only on computers. This handheld puts CAS at students' fingertips "Fingertips" is a 1963 number-one hit single recorded live by "Little" Stevie Wonder for Motown's Tamla label. Wonder's first hit single, "Fingertips" was the first live, non-studio recording to reach number-one on the Billboard Pop Singles chart in the United States. . The T1-89 graphing calculator, with built-in CAS, was made for students taking advanced math and engineering courses. Students can manipulate math expressions and functions symbolically or numerically, seeing results on a 100 x 160-pixel, high-contrast display. More than 500K of memory is standard, as are 2D graphing and analyses, 3D graphing with real-time rotations, linear algebra linear algebra Branch of algebra concerned with methods of solving systems of linear equations; more generally, the mathematics of linear transformations and vector spaces. , differential equations differential equation Mathematical statement that contains one or more derivatives. It states a relationship involving the rates of change of continuously changing quantities modeled by functions. , and more. The TI-89 has been approved for some College Board tests. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Upgradable for middle school TI-73 Designed for the middle grades, the TI-73 has a large 64 x 96-pixel screen to help students see patterns and analyze data. Geared just for middle grades classrooms, the unit's keyboard and functionality eliminate items that often confuse and intimidate this age group, yet has all the graphing capabilities they need. Students can easily view and edit text or numeric data Refers to quantities and money amounts used in calculations. Contrast with string or character data. , and plot data as pie charts, pictographs, bar charts, scatter plots, histograms and more. Compatible with CBL Cbl cobalamin. , CBL 2 and CBR (1) (Computer-Based Reference) Reference materials accessible by computer in order to help people do their jobs quicker. For example, this database on disk! (2) (Constant Bit Rate) A uniform transmission rate. data-collection tools, this TI handheld can also go out in the field. Equipped with Flash technology, the TI-73 is thus easily upgraded and enhanced with Apps. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Data logging (data) data logging - (data acquisition) Storing a series of measurements over time, usually from a sensor that converts a physical quantity such as temperature, pressure, relative humidity, light, resistance, current, power, speed, vibration into a voltage that is then converted out of the Box CBL 2 System Texas Instruments Students discover, first-hand, how math and science affect the world around them by developing hypotheses, doing experiments and forming conclusions. The CBL 2 electronic data-collection tool provides the easiest way yet for students to measure and analyze real-world data like temperature and humidity. Usable out of the box, teachers can set up experiments with one button via CBL 2 built-in DataMate software. A new calculator docking cradle allows single-handed use in the field. Vernier vernier (vûr`nēr), auxiliary scale, either straight or an arc of a circle, designed to slide along a fixed scale. Its unit divisions, usually smaller than those on the fixed scale, permit a far more precise reading. has more than 40 different sensors for the unit. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Science in Motion Calculator-Based Ranger Capture motion data with Calculator-Based Ranger. A versatile tool for grades 7-12 math and science teachers, CBR connects directly to TI graphing calculators to collect distance, velocity and acceleration data. Complete with built-in software, the unit comes ready to use with a graphing calculator--just point its pivoting sensor at the action and start sampling. Data can be viewed real time or stored for later analysis, and exported to TI graphing calculators with the push of a button. Automated plots include Distance-Time, Velocity-Time, and Acceleration-Time. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
