Find out what teachers and students have to say about their experiences of using the CG50 in the classroom.
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

“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
"They gave us a bit more scope for development in the way that we teach"
Daniel Crowhurst Head of Maths, Oxted School
We would like to give you the opportunity to explore the potential for teaching maths at A-level with this calculator with a FREE 2-Hour Skills Training Session with teachers at your school.
If you book a free A-level training session, we will give each teacher who attends that training a free fx-CG50 graphic calculator.
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.

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 School
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.”

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

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.

I think their confidence today definitely grew
Jess Kelly - Assistant Director of Learning (Maths KS4)
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)
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.
