Think of the Home Screen as the desktop on your computer.
This is the place where you go to open all of the "programs" you need to complete your task.
In TI-Nspire-speak, these "programs" are referred to as your "applications". (Not to be confused with the applications, or APPS, used on the TI-84+ models.)
There are 5 basic "applications": |
1. Calculator |
2. Graphs & Geometry |
3. Lists & Spreadsheets |
4. Notes |
5. Data and Statistics |
|
|
6. New Documents |
7. My Documents |
| |
8. System Information |
9. Hints |

Think DOCUMENTS!
Whenever you work on this calculator, you are "designing" (or editing) a document.
Each time you use the calculator you are creating a document with problems (chapters) and pages. When you start an application, a "tab" will appear at the top of the screen telling you which "problem" and "page" of your document is open. As you create more pages, the number of tabs will increase. This screen shows problem one, page one.
You will continue adding pages to problem one until you tell the calculator to move on to problem 2.
Each document can consist of up to 30 "problems" and each problem can have at most 50 pages. |
|
To insert a new "page", press CTRL-HOME(TOOLS), #4 Insert, #2 Page (or choose a new application). The tabs will start a pattern of 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, etc.
To insert a new "problem", press CTRL-HOME, #4 Insert, #1 Problem. The tabs will change to 2.1, 3.1, 4.1, 5.1, etc.
