This document includes seven introductory tutorials to take new users through many key features of
TI-Nspire™ maths and science learning technology. This technology includes both handhelds and computer
soware, providing teachers the exibility to meet dierent classroom needs. However, the primary focus of
these tutorials is the handheld device. All acvies are equally applicable to the computer soware but screen
shots and key presses relate to the handheld.

The tutorials are designed to be worked through in order, with later ones building on skills covered earlier.
The rst me you meet a new technique, there are very detailed instrucons about which keys to press –
but, as you would expect, the amount of detail is reduced when the technique is used subsequently.
In an Appendix you will nd an example that links together several of the applicaons introduced separately in
the tutorials. As well as enabling you to revisit many of the techniques you met earlier, it provides an example
of the use of “mulple representaons” of mathemacal concepts.

In the tutorials you will nd occasional references to documents that are supplied in electronic form with your
TI-Nspire handheld.
