Data collection for TI-Nspire™ CX technology

Sensors for math

Deepen students understanding of mathematics by showing them how the concepts they learn apply to the world around them.

Use sensors to provide interactive, hands-on math lessons

Give students the tools to collect data in real time and investigate essential math concepts in more ways.

Linear and nonlinear relationships:

Easily link up with Vernier sensors to measure quantities like motion over time, and create graphs that visually connect distance, rate and time — and even explore linear and non-linear motion.

Rates of change:

With sensors like the CBR™ 2 motion sensor, students can explore how velocity and acceleration relate to position over time, transforming the study of derivatives and integrals into fun, interactive lessons.

Exponential relationships:

The Vernier EasyTemp® sensor lets students gather temperature data instantly. Make graphs, apply regression techniques, and interpret models to give meaning to real-world phenomena.

Get students moving with math

By pairing the TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculator with the CBR™ 2 motion sensor, students can jump out of their seats and actively explore mathematical models and relationships with their own data.

Watch the video to learn from real teachers about incorporating the motion sensor into math lessons, featuring an easy activity to try out with your students!

Bringing math to life with sensors

With nearly 70 compatible Vernier sensors, TI-Nspire™ CX II graphing calculators open the door to hands-on explorations of key concepts, while directly applying mathematical tools such as graphing, regression and function modeling.

Your students can measure and analyze:

  • Motion
  • Temperature
  • Light intensity
  • Force
  • And more!
