Go back to school with the right calculator
Whatever school year you’re going into, there are so many benefits to having a good calculator for your maths classes. Calculators don’t just give you answers; they help you gain a deeper understanding of the principles of mathematics. They also support and improve your mental and written maths.
Teachers like it when all their students have the same calculator, as it saves time and levels the playing field. Also, 88% of teachers recommend Casio scientific calculators as they have all the key functions, the latest display technology and the highest build quality.
Laying the foundations with our entry-level scientific calculators
fx-83/85GT CW
The fx-83GT CW and fx-85GT CW are our entry-level scientific calculators and are identical in functionality, the only difference being that the latter offers solar power.
They’re ideally suited to key stage 3 students who are establishing the foundations of their mathematical knowledge from years 7 to 9 and starting to prepare for their GCSEs.
When students start using these handsets, they’ll find the following features pre-installed:
Calculate: for general tasks and calculations such as square numbers, square roots, surds, fractions, percentages and decimals.
Statistics: for statistical and regression calculations.
Table: generates a number table from one or two input functions.
Ratio: for ratio calculations.
Math Box: offers functions including dice roll and coin toss probability simulations and number line graphs for up to three equalities or inequalities.
Laying the foundations with our advanced scientific calculator
fx-991CW
The fx-991CW is our most advanced scientific calculator. It offers some significant upgrades in functionality compared to the fx-83/85GT CW, the benefits of which really become clear when students start exploring topics in greater depth from GCSE onwards.
One of the most notable examples of this is Solver, which uses Newton’s method to find decimal solutions to equations. This can be a useful teaching tool and provide valuable support when students start to build on their fundamental understanding by solving problems.
The fx-991CW also offers other upgrades in functionality over the fx-83/85GT CW that will be most useful for higher-level GCSE and A-level students, including numerical calculus, complex number calculations, vectors and matrices.
