About Math Nspired
Combining classroom-ready lessons with self-paced online professional development resources, Math Nspired utilizes the power of TI-Nspire™ technology to help students build a deeper understanding of the math concepts that they struggle with the most.
Designed to be used by new educators as well as their experienced colleagues, Math Nspired features a variety of lessons that can be taught “as is” or modified by educators to meet the needs of their students. In addition, Math Nspired includes a selection of blended professional development opportunities that can be customized to meet educator, school and district needs.
Algebra Nspired and Geometry Nspired are the first offerings in this series. In the fall of 2010 we will release Algebra 2 Nspired and Calculus Nspired. You can take a look at sample lessons in the What’s New section.

A Variety of Lessons
Math Nspired lessons are developed hand-in-hand with educators. The most unique of these are the Texas Instruments action/consequence lessons, in which:
- Students take action on a math object in a TI-Nspire document, observe the consequence and are able to reflect on the math implications.
- Teachers ask probing questions that lead students to productive discussions about the math.
- Students interact with numerous mathematical representations to develop understanding in a way that is not possible with paper and pencil alone.
- Educators are able to engage students more effectively in their mathematics learning
Additional lessons have been created and selected from other sources to compliment the action/consequence lessons.
