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

by

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)

  5. I was forced to skip math classes because i was so smart… Right now in 9th grade, Im doing trigonometry!!!

    Tweeted!!!

  8. Yes, I was a total math nerd! :) It just came naturally to me…. until I had to take Physics! LOL

  19. I loved math when I was in school, I was very good at it, thanks for the chance!

  36. Thanks for the giveaway…I was a B student in math up through Calculus but it did not come easy (for the most part) !

    senorpiero [at] yahoo [dot] com

  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.

  65. I LOVE LOVE LOVE math! I actually have my master’s degree in math, so I’m pretty sure that qualifies me as a math nerd. :)

  73. I was NOT a maththelete at ALL… was scared to death of math and didnt get much help at all…but my kids are great at it !

    thanks!

  78. I am not a big fan of math, however I have to take math this semester and would love to win this!

  84. I LOVE math. I was a total math dork in school and one of my classes this semester is a math class.

  98. Uhm… yeah pretty much. I’m a math major in college and I tutor high school students in math. :)

  123. Need this to give to my daughter who is about to start college!

    Thank you for the giveaway!

  124. I don’t know that I am a math nerd but I love numbers and am going to school for accounting right now.

  130. I am a self proclaimed math nerd!! This would be great to have for my cost accounting!!

  137. I hated math, so definitely not a math nerd. But my son really likes it. Must be his dad’s genes.

  138. i don’t love math but both my parents are cpa’s so i did pretty good in high school math.

  143. I did not like math in school and still don’t like it. Both my husband and son like math. This would be great for my son.

  153. I was always “okay” with math, but my granddaughter loves it and is proud to consider herself a nerd. She would LOVE to have this calculator.

  155. I love math.
    Either your wrong or your right. Its no in-between IMO
    I also subscribed to you.

  160. i do love math – i went so far as to take engineering calculus in college. i was also an accounting major for 3.5 years until i switched to another major. there are times when i regret not following through on the accounting thing – i’m happiest when i’m analyzing/working with data.

  161. I do not love math, but my son loves math! Guess it wasn’t in the genes. I am so thankful he loves math and is good at it. This calculator is the one he needs for school.

  165. I just finished taking Calculus! I am taking 2 more math classes after that so this would come in handy!

  173. I was a math geek in school. It was my favorite subject and one that I actually excelled in.

  180. I am really bad at math.That’s why I need to win this. I need all the help I can get.

  192. I don’t like math and I remember how my graphing calculator was my lifesaver in high school!

  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!

  243. I absolutely hated math and still do, but I’m hoping it’ll be easier for my kids.

  246. I love math and a calculator. Just started learning about these as my son needed one this year. They are really neat! Wish I had had one in highs chool and college!

  277. I am THE math geek. I make my whole family wear hand made pi day t-shirts every year (3.14159…. March 14th and 1:59). I have a masters in math and am patiently waiting to afford to go back for my PhD. I am hoping the random.org and it’s mathematical set-up will pick me!!!! I have been drooling over this calc. I even told my hubby about it. He thinks I nuts!!!!

  322. I do love math! My favorite was always algebra. I would love this – my kiddos area fast approaching the yrs when they need this for class.

  327. While i wasnt necessarily a math nerd. I did love math. The only class that I didnt like was geometry. I just wish that my children had got my “math gene” this would definately be a win that would help my daughter!

  328. I have tried to twitter but am unable to figure it out…perhaps because we are still dial up.

  338. I was definitely not a math nerd, but I can do algebra…You get into trig or calc, though, and I’m done for.

    I have to admit that the caculator would be for my son. He’s always rented his calculator from the school so it would be fabulous for him to have his own. He is brilliant at math.

  363. I was your true math nerd. I like to say “Wizard”. I had a TI Business Calculator in College. It did everything…. My son is starting Middle School this year. He needs a good calculator.

  364. We love TI products! Is it because we are from Texas? My husband and I still have ours when we were in high school, 20+ years ago. Now that our daughter is in middle school, this is one of the supplies needed after the initial supply list! School supplies are never ending!

  373. I am a math nerd! I taught high school algebra and geometry for 14 years before semi retiring last year to raise my family of 5. Should have done this 9 years ago! I would love this calculator to use with my tutoring students.

  377. OMG, I am SUCH a math nerd, I’m salivating over this giveaway!! I just gave my son my old TI scientific calculator from high school with a heavy overtone of “This was mine, take care of it..it’s an excellent calculator”.

  381. I loved math and am still a math nerd. My kids know they can come to me for any math questions!

  390. I was on the Math Team in highschool. We had a cheer related to pi. I was also a math tutor in college. Yay, math nerds!
