ABSTRACT

This paper explores several rich mathematics problems using the TI-Nspire CAS calculator. The tasks have been developed to exploit the linked multi-representational power and document authoring features of Nspire. Furthermore, the authors discuss general strategies for constructing such tasks and sharing them as podcasts for students (using freely available software and a Nspire calculator).
