Graphical Display Calculators
Video Tutorials for the TiNspire and Casio calculators
Below you will find links to a growing number of video tutorials on how to use your TiNspire or Casio calculator, categorised by module: Number and Algebra, Functions, Geometry and trigonometry, Statistics and probability, Calculus and the "toolkit" for mathematical exploration.
The Graphical Display Calculator (GDC) is a key component to the applications course. For this reason, students are never required to be without it. For the same reason, it is crucial to be fluent with it. These pages are designed to help students be just that. Students have them available in the Calculators (GDC) section of their E-book.

In particular, the HL Paper 3 is designed to test students' ability to model situations and solve problems gradually over a period of around 30 minutes for each of two questions. Using the GDC not only to calculate, but also to investigate and experiment with the information given in the question, and to test the validity of their approaches, will likely offer a signficant advantage. Personally, I am looking at moving a number of the investigative activities and tasks (and perhaps all . . .) that I used to do using Geogebra, Desmos, Autograph, over to the calculator, so as to increase student's familiarity, and comfort, with their calculators. I often say to students at the start of the IB, when they learn to drive they'll have to master the mechanics of coordinating the clutch and gear stick etc. before their mind can be 100% free to focus on evaluating the road and any unexpected situations that arise. The same is true of the IB exams. Students really need to have mastered their way around the calculator, so that their minds are 100% free to focus on the question, context and mathematics they might/could use to solve each question (and hence avoid the risk of a crash!).
