TI-Nspire™ CX Student Software

Powerful computer software that satisfies math and science curriculum needs from middle school through college.

Where to Buy

Python logo Python programming is now available on TI-Nspire™ CX II
family graphing calculators and software.

All the math and science, one computer software program

Open new paths to understanding

New and faster interactive features motivate students to see and interact with math and science more deeply:

  • Animated path plot
    Visualize function, parametric and polar graphs as they are drawn in real time.
  • Dynamic coefficient values
    Explore direct connections between dynamic coefficients in equations and graphs.
  • Points by coordinates
    Create dynamic points defined by coordinates, sliders or expressions quickly.
  • Tick-mark labels
    Label axes scales to create visual contexts that promote understanding.
  • TI-Basic programming enhancements
    Write code for visual illustration of key math, science and STEM ideas.
  • Exact Math
    With Exact Math, simplified expressions keep their mathematical structure and mathematical constants are recognized and simplified symbolically.

Calculate, graph, write notes, build spreadsheets and collect data, all with the TI-Nspire™ CX Student Software.

Calculator
Perform calculations in proper math notation.
Lists & Spreadsheet
Combine spreadsheet functionality with mathematical operations.
Graphs
Plot, explore and animate functions, equations and inequalities.
Data & Statistics
Dynamic graphing and interactive analysis of data.
Geometry
Construct and explore dynamically geometric figures and properties.
Notes
Create interactive activities, documents or reports.
DataQuest™
Plug and play data collection and scientific analysis.
Programming
Add new functionality and create rich STEM activities with Python and TI-Basic coding languages.

Make mathematical connections

View multiple representations at the same time and recognize updates to representations as things change mathematically; promote conceptual understanding regardless of students’ individual learning styles.

Create dynamic documents

Use the PublishView™ feature to add
TI-Nspire™ applications, rich text, hyperlinks, images or videos and create interactive worksheets, lab reports and homework assignments.

Bring concepts into view

In addition to the normal computer view, you can also work on documents in the special handheld view, which shows documents as they appear on the TI-Nspire™ CX handheld display.

Share files with ease

Students can easily transfer work between their TI-Nspire™ CX handheld and computer to complete work outside of school, at home, or at the library.
