Calculating the best output for maths
Here to support parents and students with simple to use, yet highly advanced technologies.
Inspiring A New Generation
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.
All Casio calculators – from our ClassWiz scientific calculators to the most advanced graphing handsets – are highly capable devices that can support teachers and students at all stages of secondary education.
GCSE
You’ll need a scientific calculator for GCSE Maths. Scientific calculators handle standard arithmetic, and then add extra functionality like cube roots, powers, statistics, trigonometry and more. They are also very useful for other subjects such as Science, so one model covers all your subjects.
A-Level
At A-level you’ll be learning areas of maths you’ve not yet encountered. There will be new and more complex types of calculation. You will need at least an advanced scientific calculator to cover the minimum syllabus requirements.
IB
Maths is compulsory (both SL and HL) for the full IB Diploma. This reflects the prevalence of mathematics in our lives, with all its interdisciplinary connections. Students are expected to have access to a graphic calculator at all times during the course and in exams.
Exams Eligibility
All calculator models sold by Casio UK are permitted in UK school exams. Some models are permitted in Irish and IB exams.
What to look for when choosing a calculator for the classroom?
Ideally, each student needs to use the same calculator model to avoid a logistical nightmare. Choosing models that include all the key functionality required for exams, use modern display technology and have good build quality are important to look for, ensuring you get a failsafe product.
Teachers like it when all their students have the same calculator, as it saves time and levels the playing field. Also, 88% of teachers surveyed recommend Casio scientific calculators as they have all the key functions, the latest display technology and the highest build quality.
