The TI-83
Teacher Learning System

The TI-83 Teacher Learning System (TI-83 TLS)
The Teacher Learning System for the TI-83 graphing calculator (TI-83 TLS) has been developed to assist the secondary mathematics teacher with learning about this technology as well as designing and managing instruction using it appropriately in the delivery of the secondary mathematics curriculum. This may seem like a monumental task at this point! We hope teachers will find this is not the case and will approach this new challenge confidently and enthusiastically.
