GCSE
Your students will need a scientific calculator for trigonometry and statistics. The choice is between a minimum-requirement and an advanced model. All our scientific calculators have natural display (for example showing fractions with a numerator and denominator) and are permitted in GCSE exams.
A-Level Maths
The minimum DfE requirement is for a calculator with an iterative function and required statistical distributions. The fx-991EX is the minimum-specification calculator with these functions.
Maths is a visual subject, and graphs form a significant part of A-level. The DfE requires that technology should permeate the curriculum, and a graphic calculator facilitates this. A graphic calculator allows you to draw and analyse graphs and undertake more sophisticated calculations than is possible on a scientific calculator. This will give your students a significant advantage in lessons and exams.
A-level Further Maths
The minimum requirement is for a calculator with an iterative function, calculations with matrices order 3 x 3, and required statistical distributions. The fx-991EX is the minimum specification calculator with these functions, depending on the required statistical distributions.
Exploring and analysing graphs is a major part of the syllabus. Your students will gain significant advantage in both learning and exams from using a graphic calculator.
IB Diploma
Students will require a graphic calculator. The choice depends on the level of sophistication in calculation and graph display. Many teachers opt for the fx-CG50 as it is competitive on price and highly functional. Please check the full specification here.
