However, I am using a handy workaround that I bet at least a few of you will be unaware of. This was mind blowing to me since the book includes great instruction on how to use the Nspire throughout. However, while the publisher provided the data in many formats such as Microsoft Excel, Minitab, TI-84 Plus, etc, the TI-Nspire does not seem to be among them. This is incredibly valuable from a standpoint of having the data to show the kids and demonstrate where the graphs and charts in our PowerPoint presentations come from. Our textbook publisher includes spreadsheets full of data to support book examples. Spreadsheets are obviously an important part of that. Even just weeks into the course, I’ve been pushed to explore features on the Nspire that I’d only dabbled with before. Of course, the TI-Nspire is an important part of our classroom instruction. ![]() ![]() The class is serving as a capstone course for students who have come through the “standard” sequence of courses, but it has also attracted a significant number of “honors students” who are looking forward to the opportunity to take the AP Statistics test to earn college credit at the end of the year. It’s very exciting and exhausting at the same time. It’s the culmination of several years of effort, including a feasibility study, search for textbooks, curriculum adoption, and now implementation. ![]() As I’ve mentioned a couple of times on Tech Powered Math, I’m leading the charge on our new statistics class at my school.
