This is the most important menu on the TI-84 Plus CE calculator; it tells the calculator how you want numbers and graphs to be displayed.

Like the standard TI-84 Plus, the Silver Edition includes a built-in USB port, a built-in clock, and assembly support. Designed for teachers, this easy-to-use software projects an exact representation of the calculator’s display to help keep students engaged and on track. This simple teacher software complements the TI-84 Plus family of graphing calculators, letting the educator project a representation of the calculator’s display to the entire class. The software mimics what students are seeing on their calculators to keep them engaged and on track. While this is an older model of the CE, it definitely is still useful today as the day it was released, which was back in 2004.

This is becoming a more and more common feature and it is somewhat disappointing that it isn’t seen on the TI-84 Plus CE. For classroom use, the TI Rechargeable Battery is expected to last up to five days of normal use on a single charge. Transfer data, update your Operating System (OS), download Calculator Software Applications (Apps), edit and load programs to your graphing calculator.

The TI Power Adapter has been designed to match the charging requirements of the TI84 Plus CE rechargeable battery ensuring you get the maximum life from your battery. The CBR 2™ motion sensor, which connects directly to your graphing calculator, is designed for teachers who want their students to collect and analyze real-world motion data, such as distance, velocity and acceleration. This is a very nice feature because it means that you won’t have to spend any extra money on one-time-use batteries. By adding a Python version to the TI-84 Plus CE graphing family, students can learn to program using the same dedicated, distraction-free tool they are already familiar with from math classes. Students can visually draw conclusions about functions and improve graphing comprehension with this App.Built-in MathPrint™ functionality allows you to input and view maths symbols, formulas and stacked fractions exactly as they appear in textbooks. Subject-specific lessons and tools help students gain an understanding of math and science concepts. Connect to multiple graphing calculators at once to update your graphing calculator’s operating system (OS), transfer data, download calculator software applications (apps) and edit and upload programs. The older Plus model can definitely get you by, but the new CE is really easy to operate and the extra speed that it comes with will get you to finish your problems a lot faster and prevent frustration.
