Portable programming platform Now students can code on the go! As a one-stop solution, they can program with Python anywhere — without the need of a computer lab — using their TI-Nspire™ CX II family graphing calculator.
TI-Nspire CX is a graphing calculator that is capable of plotting graphs, solving simultaneous equations, and performing other tasks with variables. TI-Nspire CX are also programmable, allowing the user to create customized programs, typically for scientific/engineering and education applications.
To Create a New Program in a TI‑Nspire CX Document:
On the handheld, press ~ and select Insert > Program Editor > New.
TI-Nspire CX II CAS, the difference is that TI-Nspire CX II CAS has a computer algebra system (CAS), meaning it can do algebraic operations, while the TI-Nspire CX does not. This means the TI-Nspire CX II CAS is not legal for the ACT test.

Now students can code on the go! As a one-stop solution, they can program with Python anywhere — without the need of a computer lab — using their TI-Nspire™ CX II family graphing calculator.
The Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS is one of the most advanced graphing calculators you'll find, so if your student doesn't have a need for advanced functions and geometric animations, go ahead and opt for something simpler.
The TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculator with licensed TI-Nspire™ CX Student Software, is ideal for middle and high school students. In addition to math and science functionality to meet course work, a student can save all their work easily in a TI-Nspire™ document.
TI-nspire CAS calculators of the second generation have this option, so they are allowed in IB exams. They are recognised by II in the name: TI-nspire CX II-T CAS (letter T means that this calculator is approved for use in Europe). All types of TI-nspire non-CAS calculators are allowed in IB exams.
As part of the TI-Nspire™ CX II ecosystem, this web-based app connects a TI-Nspire™ CX II family graphing calculator to your computer, enabling you to perform a variety of functions in one place.
TI's advanced graphing calculators feature a 16-bit processor, high resolution display, a powerful programming language capable of symbolic manipulation, Flash programmability, and a considerable amount of memory.
I wrote Python for the TI-Nspire for students and professionals who have a TI-Nspire calculator and want more than just a calculator. Python is the perfect programming language - and it is the most popular programming language in the marketplace today.
Overall the TI-nspire CX CAS has an abundance of features and capabilities that will allow you to do much less work on paper, and even allow you to forget how to do some very advanced things like factoring. But all this comes at the cost of usability which is where the TI-84 Plus CE shines.
TI-Nspire™ CX II online calculator is a standalone web-based application that provides the basic functionality of the TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculator on any compatible computer.
graphing calculator. Our most powerful Computer Algebra System (CAS) graphing calculator that enables a deeper understanding of abstract concepts in math and science subjects.
Best Advanced: Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS Color
An upgrade from Texas Instruments' TI-Nspire CX graphing calculators, this version offers faster performance, interactive visuals, and graphics that are easier to read.
It's all about supply and demand. Graphing calculators are still widely used by students, and schools have strict boundaries for what these gadgets can do.
CAS stands for "Computer Algebra System" and it is software that allows the manipulation of mathematical expressions in symbolic form. The principal difference between a calculator with CAS and one without CAS is the ability to deal with equations symbolically rather than numerically.
The graphic below shows the use of TI-Nspire CX calculators on standardized tests. Note that the TiNspire CX can be used on ALL standardized tests including SAT, ACT and AP. However,the TiNspire CX CAS may not be used on the ACT exam.
A function defined in the Program Editor is similar to the functions built into the TI‑Nspire™ Software. Functions must return a result, which can be graphed or entered in a table. Programs do not return a result. You can use a function (but not a program) within an expression.
