'At Texas Instruments we work with educators to develop new math and science learning technology to help them better engage students in mastering key concepts,' said Melendy Lovett, president of Texas Instruments Education Technology.

Graphing handhelds such as the TI-Nspire handhelds have been shown to foster student engagement and encourage participation in their own learning. Research(1) shows that when students are engaged and actively participate in their own learning, they progress faster and further in understanding mathematics and science. I can emphasize different parts of an equation with color, so the charts, tables, graphics and even photographs that I import into my lessons have more impact and relevance, and enable students to make the important connections among all of these representations.' 'With the addition of color as a key learning cue and with 3D graphing, students can better visualize and interact with class exercises. Trafficante teaches Calculus, Integrated Algebra and Geometry, and Advanced Math at Austintown Fitch High School in Youngstown, Ohio. 'The TI-Nspire CX handheld exponentially changes how we can teach mathematics,' said Carlo Trafficante, the first educator to pilot the TI-Nspire CX handheld in a classroom. With the TI-Nspire CX and TI-Nspire CAS handhelds' new 3D graphing capabilities, students can explore concepts from multiple points of view to develop deeper conceptual understanding. The color display enables students to better observe patterns and make connections between math and science concepts and real-world learning. The TI-Nspire CX handheld offers a set of fully integrated tools that allow dynamic links among multiple representations of a problem. The TI-Nspire CX handheld is the cornerstone of the Nspired Learning solution.
