Updating the Nspire will automatically update the 84 mode. However you won't need it to update the OS when using the TI-84 faceplate on the TI-Nspire. These come in handy for using the CBR with the 84 SmartView. You don't want to throw away those silver cables. (as show on the left) then just find the OS (pay attention to where you save what you download). Teachers will want to put these on their TI-84 SmartView emulator so that what they do in front of the class matches what the students see. The new OS 2.53MP is available under downloads at education.ti.com.

Be sure to download and install this using TI-Connect. (Hey, fractions are now supported in the tables, lists, matrices, and window zoom.) I like that there is a central location for Stat Diagnostics to be turned on and another way to get to the Graph Screen Formatting.Īll of the current apps (that I know of) are unaffected and still work except for Catalog Help. Als o note that if mixed fractions are preferred they can be chosen. If for some reason users preferred the classic view, there is now a second screen under MODE were MathPrint can be unselected. Notice that MathPrint is supported in Y=.īesides using the shortcut, of which there is a reminder every time the 84 is turned on, many of the features can be accessed through the MATH button, or MATH then NUM.

Here are a series of screen shots that demonstrate an effective way to find the intersection, area between curves, and volume by rotation. The definite integral is another example of MathPrint making the entering of a calculation more intuitive. Derivative at a point uses Leibniz's notation and the 'such that' vertical bar followed by the point for the derivative to be numerically evaluated. It is easy enough to change it and see how long it would take, ignoring air resistance, if this was dropped from the top of the Burj Dubai (828m), or we could change the 9.8m/s^2 to the acceleration of gravity on another planet.Ĭalculus teachers will particularly enjoy MathPrint because they won't need to spend the time teaching an unusual syntax like d(e^3x,x,5). The second calculation shows the amount of time it takes if I take that penny and drop it off the roof of our school 5.2 m above the ground. I love that the square root radically (pun intended) goes over everything that it is supposed to. If I press enter, then I could easily change it to be 45 rpm, or I could change it to a penny that is closer in (since vinyl albums actually have a radius a bit smaller than 18cm). The first is to find the acceleration of a penny that is 18 cm from the center of a record that is spinning at 33 1/3 rpm. The above screen shows some calculations that my students have done in the past. If they press enter on the selected number or calculation, this will be copied down so it can be edited or reused. Another new feature is, instead of pressing 2nd ENTER to review the last 10 entries, they can now arrow up around 30 entries. If they want to do a complicated calculation they would do well to enter it on their handheld technology - whether it be a TI-84 or Nspire - the way that it looks on their paper. Students tend to enter calculations one step at a time and then they don't know where they went wrong. Students will make fewer mistakes on homework and those important end-of-the-year exams, because what they enter looks like what is in the textbook or their homework paper. The new operating system OS 2.53 MP brings the feature of MathPrint (TM) to the 84. You would enter an expression with weird syntax and many parentheses, but you could check that you entered what you wanted once you were finished. On the TI-89 that I used to teach calculus with, there was what was referred to as "Pretty Print" on the output. Several wildly popular features that have been native to the TI-Nspire for the past 3 years, have now made their way on to the 84.

For the benefit of teachers and students who still use the TI-84 Plus (he and I enjoy the TI-Nspire CAS handheld and software) he has grabbed a bunch of screen shots for the new operating system using TI-Connect. My wife has kept up recording the interesting family events.įor the first time in all my years of teaching, this semester I have a TA. It has been a busy year with teaching, family, and a big project. It has been awhile since I've written a post here. This way you will still enjoy the benefit of fraction math and scrolling history that the new operating systems give you. After trying out MathPrint, if you decide you really missed all the parentheses you got with square roots and the carat for exponents, or if you don't like the scrolling left/right lines as much as you enjoyed wrapping, you can always change modes to Classic. In case you didn't update in the past year, you can now enjoy 'wizards' for many of the statistics capabilities AND MathPrint. UPDATE 1/11/11: The release notes for the new TI-84 OS 2.55MP are now posted on a TI website.
