News Highlights:
- Texas Instruments launches the TI-84 Evo Graphing Calculator, the latest and most powerful addition to the iconic TI-84 series, engineered so students get to math faster.
- Designed to be distraction-free, the TI-84 Evo is a single-purpose graphing calculator without Wi-Fi, keeping students focused on learning mathematics, not just getting quick answers.
- Built to support students throughout their academic journey, the TI-84 Evo is approved for all major standardized exams including the ACT®, SAT®, IB® and AP®, making it a long-term investment from middle school algebra through college-level coursework.
The best TI-84 ever – evolution of a trusted platform
The TI-84 Evo is designed to keep pace with how fast students think and work, allowing them to see more of the math at once. New and improved math features — such as points of interest trace or the improved Lines and Conics app — give students more ways to engage deeply with concepts without skipping straight to the answers.
"The TI-84 Evo represents our commitment to continuous innovation in educational technology," said Laura Chambers, President of TI Education 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."
Improved usability
With the new icon-based menu of the TI-84 Evo, students spend less time learning the tool and more time learning the math. Mathematical expressions are presented in a clear format, and visual icons help students quickly identify the right functions. USB-C charging and an evolved interface round out an experience that's new, but still familiar, designed to feel approachable for first-time users and second nature for returning ones.
"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!" said Ashley Hawley (@algebra.einstein),
Designed for learning, proven for testing
Approved for major standardized exams – including the ACT®, SAT®, IB® and AP® – students can walk into every exam with the same calculator they used in their class and homework, and that familiarity builds the kind of confidence that makes a real difference on test day. Research confirms this consistency matters:
Built to keep students focused — and succeeding
As 45 states move to restrict cell phones in classrooms, educators and students need tools designed for deep, uninterrupted learning. According to a 2025 EdWeek Research Center study,
The TI-84 Evo is available in white (the standard color), mint, pink, purple, teal, raspberry and silver. The new graphing calculator is available for purchase at major retailers and instructional dealers nationwide. For more information, visit education.ti.com/evo.
