{NOW CLOSED} Back to School Giveaway: Texas Instruments TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator Giveaway Package

By: 767 Comments

Math nerds like me will love this giveaway and this calculator! The TI-Nspire Calculator is a calculator that does it all and is a calculator that will follow your child from Middle School through College. Not only is this calculator valuable for math classes, it is one that can be used for Biology through Physics as well.

Back in the day, I had a Texas Instruments calculator that lasted me from Algebra to College level Calculus course. I would have absolutely flipped over the TI-Nspire + the Software. Do assignments in class on the calculator and then continue at home using the software on your computer. You can then save, print, store, and send to manage your documents.

This calculator is really a 3-in-1: A graphing calculator, software package, and a T84 plus keypad (available by mail in rebate).

The touchpad gives the TI-Nspire an almost mouse like feel. The TI-Nspire is permitted on the SAT, AP, ACT, IB, PSAT/NSMQT, and Praxis as well as many state tests!

Wouldn’t it be great to surprise your student with this fabulous learning tool! Texas Instruments wants to give one Bargain Briana reader a fantastic giveaway package!

  • TI-Nspire Graphing Calculator with Touchpad ($139.99)

  38. You know, at one time I used to really love math and be a bit of a nerd about it, but that sort of ended for me at the end of high school (with calculus). My husband, on the other hand, is TOTALLY a math nerd. He teaches math and loves to do math problems for fun (even though it is already his job). He never liked math in school (until college), so we are like the exact opposites in that regard.

  52. Yup – I was a math nerd. I hated subjects where your grade was dependent on how the teacher was feeling on any particular day. With math, 1+1=2 – no matter what else is going on!

  61. I do not love math, I try and struggle at it. I have 4 kids and 4 back to school lists, and the schools this year are asking for more than ever. One thing on my oldest daughter’s list is this very calculator. I am not sure how they expect families to buy this, I’m grateful for the chance to win this.

  203. Do I love math? Are you kidding me? I’d rather clean my son’s room than do math! My kids on the other hand are outstanding at math. Wonder if they were switched at birth. My 2nd daughter isn’t doing high school this year, but is taking all college courses online instead! My 6th grader loves math and does fantastic at it. Both of these kids could use the calculator!

  207. I am such a math nerd that I was one of two women to graduate at that time in theoretical mathematics at the university that I attended. I even wrote my honors research paper on a Study of Circles in a Mod Prime 5 System. I worked for awhile for Southwestern Bell Telephone Company and then began teaching math at the high school and college levels. I would love to win this TI Giveaway Package as I would love to use this new calculator and possibly bring it into the classroom. Math does ROCK!
