DALLAS, Jan. 27, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas
Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN), the most trusted brand in graphing
calculator technology, today unveiled a new addition to the TI-84
Plus family of graphing calculators—the TI-84 Plus CE graphing
calculator. The TI-84 Plus CE is now 30 percent thinner and 30
percent lighter than the TI-84 Plus, and students can express their
own personal style by choosing their TI-84 Plus CE from a variety
of colors, such as red, hot pink and blue.
TI created the TI-84 Plus CE in response to feedback from
students using earlier models of the TI-84 Plus. "Students asked us
to make their go-to graphing calculator slimmer, sleeker, more
colorful, and lightweight, and we answered with the modern,
streamlined design of the TI-84 Plus CE," said Peter Balyta, Ph.D., president of TI Education
Technology. "Once you hold the new TI-84 Plus CE in your hand, you
will immediately see and feel the improvements."
The TI-84 Plus CE has six times the memory of the TI-84 Plus so
students can store vivid, full-color graphs, images and data. The
lightweight yet durable design also makes the graphing calculator
easier to carry to and from school and activities for today's
on-the-go students.
Teachers will appreciate that the key placement, navigation and
menus are the same as earlier TI-84 Plus models so they can
continue to use their current classroom activities. Parents will
appreciate that a one-time purchase of a TI-84 Plus CE in middle
school will take students through all of the math courses they need
to take in high school, college and beyond– including algebra,
geometry, calculus and statistics.
The TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator is permitted on
high-stakes exams, including the PSAT/NMSQT*, SAT* and ACT® college
entrance exam as well as Advanced Placement* exams that allow or
require a graphing calculator. The TI-84 Plus CE will be available
for purchase later this spring. For information on availability,
