Texas Instruments Education Technology has launched the TI-84 Evo Graphing Calculator, the latest addition to its TI-84 series, featuring a processor three times faster than its predecessor, 50% more graphing space, and a redesigned keypad. The calculator is purpose-built for math classrooms and approved for all major standardized exams including the ACT, SAT, IB, and AP, making it compatible across a student’s academic journey from middle school algebra through college-level coursework.
The TI-84 Evo introduces an icon-based menu system designed to reduce time spent navigating the device, along with new math features including a points of interest trace function and an improved Lines and Conics app. The calculator uses USB-C charging and presents mathematical expressions in a clear visual format. Available in seven colors including white, mint, pink, purple, teal, raspberry, and silver, the device is sold at major retailers and instructional dealers nationwide.
The launch comes as 45 states move to restrict cell phones in classrooms. The TI-84 Evo is designed as a single-purpose, Wi-Fi-free device with no notifications or social media access. A 2025 EdWeek Research Center study found that 81% of teachers and administrators say students are better able to focus on math when using a handheld calculator, while 94% say students perform better on exams when using the same calculator for assessment, practice, and instruction.
KEY QUOTES:
“The TI-84 Evo represents our commitment to continuous innovation in educational technology. We’ve taken everything educators and students love about the TI-84 series and evolved it to meet the needs of today’s learners.”
Laura Chambers, President, TI Education Technology
“I love that the TI-84 Evo keeps all the features you know and love about the TI-84 but enhances them and makes it even more student friendly and easy to use. One of my favorite new features is that I can trace along the graph to find points of interest quickly so I can focus on interpreting function meaning in context.”
