- There are many other models of graphing calculators available, but only the Ti-Nspire CX (non-CAS), Ti-Nspire (non-CAS), Ti-84 Plus and the Ti-84 Plus CE will be supported in class. If buying another brand or model, you have to be very careful that it is a model that is permitted at school and in external exams. In particular, Ti-89 and Ti-Nspire CAS version are NOT permitted in IB external exams and these are not permitted at school. The TI-Nspire CX and the Ti-84 Plus CE are not readily available for purchase in Argentina. They can be purchased overseas and a few are available for loan from the Mathematics Department.
