Oxted School

A new approach to teaching, specifically involving the fx-CG50 graphic calculator

“Before we’ve looked very much at the mechanics of what the calculator can do to make everything quicker and simpler whereas now we are looking at it as a tool to develop the experience and really develop the understanding rather than just a basic calculation tool.”

Daniel Crowhurst
Head of Maths
Oxted School

“Students are very used to using Casio calculators so... they know roughly where a lot of the buttons are anyway."

Lorraine Bennett
KS5 Coordinator for Maths
Oxted School

“We wanted to take a new approach to teaching, which involved the graphic calculator specifically."

Steven Stodart
Deputy Head of Maths
Oxted School

Hamstead Hall Academy

It's exciting when a student says "when did maths become so easy?"

“My learners, who are less confident in attempting a hard problem, can visualize it when using the graphic calculator. It gives them an entry onto the onto the problem.”

Eleri Golledge
Maths Teacher
Hamstead Hall Academy

“Casio is ideal in terms of pushing the innovation that we strive for across the whole school and particularly the Maths Department.”

Jonathan Mortimer
Executive Principal
Hamstead Hall Academy

“The fact that students can verify and check answers on the calculators means they start believing in themselves, so we’ve seen a change in the culture within the Maths Department.”

Melios Michael
Head of Maths
Hamstead Hall Academy

“They can essentially leave an exam and they know full well they’ve got a certain amount of marks in the bag.”

Highcliffe School

A new approach to teaching, specifically involving the fx-CG50 graphic calculator

“They [the students] were quite excited for them to be honest. I used to use it in my year 11 lesson last year, when I had a top set year 11, so when I would get it out there was interest they were looking at it like “oh can I have a look” and so when it came to the fact about buying them, they just did.”

Jess Kelly
Assistant Director of Learning (Maths KS4)
Highcliffe School

“I think the initial training helped to form our decision, because we all had seen it before and when the year kind of started we knew sort of what they looked like and the functionality that they did."

Steve Cooper
Director of Learning (Maths)
Highcliffe School

“I think the training and the loan set really did help otherwise we would have really been very much in the dark about what it was and whether we would have been willing to go for it or not.”

Rachel Chipchase
Assistant Director of Learning (Maths)
Highcliffe School

“I think their confidence today definitely grew.”
