Casio FX991EX Scientific Calculator 192x63

Product Information

The fact that students can take it into their exams is one of the most powerful benefits of the calculator over computer software and mobile phone apps. However, students also need to recognise that the calculator is only a tool that can offer support in the exam scenario; it’s not a substitute for theoretical understanding and it can’t do the work for them. We are running a series of ‘Enhancing your teaching’ webinar events looking at the effective use of technology in teaching and assessment of Maths. These events have a small cost and bookings can be made using the following links:

Steven joined OCR in 2014 during the major qualification reform period and now primarily focuses on supporting the Level 3 maths qualifications. He originally studied engineering and then took an extended period to work and travel around the world before completing a PGCE in secondary mathematics. Steven began his teaching career with VSO in Malawi and has taught maths in both the UK and overseas. A level mathematicians and further mathematicians mightthink about also having a graphical calculator like the C asio fx-CG50but these are expensive and absolutely not a necessity Moreover, this calculator has a natural display which means the equations are presented in the same manner as the textbook. It also includes a powerful solar panel which basically eradicates the need for battery replacements. In conclusion, this calculator is the most affordable option providing you with the bare minimum features that will get you through your A-level Maths syllabus. Graphical calculators are recommended for your A-Level exams, as they include more functions than your average calculator.Newer models of scientific calculators that include binomial and normal distribution functions provide a good compromise between ease of access to the probabilities and cost/complexity. This includes calculators such as the Casio fx-991EX ClassWiz and the Texas Instruments TI-30X Pro. This is the calculator I would recommend for students early on in secondary school (age 11-13) before they start properly preparing for GCSE and IGCSE. It’s a nice basic level scientific calculator and the cheapest option that can in theory get you through school mathematics. It lets you deal with fractions nicely and can do things like prime factorisation and recurring decimals well. Because it doesn’t have so many functions as the more advanced calculators it’s easy to use for younger children, but this does mean it is missing a few functions that can be helpful in GCSE and IGCSE exams. Calculators that have language translators in are also prohibited in A-Level Maths, so make sure you’re not taking anything like that into your exams. This is because people can alter these language translators to implement equations, and therefore they can cheat. The right calculator is an indispensable tool for displaying, analysing and understanding statistics, so students should be aware of the different options available to them. Is a scientific calculator sufficient? As your A-Levels is regarded as a step-up from your GCSE’s in terms of studying, preparation, and hard work, you also need to get a more advanced calculators for A-Level Maths exam to deal with various challenging questions. Therefore, one of your priorities is getting the best affordable calculator for your A-Levels. However, there are many A-level Maths calculators available on our market, which might make you confused and overwhelmed.

The Casio FX-CG50 is a graphical calculator that includes all of the above features I’ve mentioned, and is an amazing tool to use in your A-Level exams. Our nominated carrier is Parcel Force. Deliveries are made Monday – Friday between 9.00am – 6.00pm (excluding Bank Holidays). However, knowledge of how to perform these functions is still required by the content and may be assessed through questions using command words such as ‘In this question you must show detailed reasoning’. For more information on these and other such questions, please see our ‘Exploring our question papers’ guides for Maths A or Maths B (MEI). Support in the classroomThis is super helpful when you try and make the links between functions and their implications on a graph, as you can see their effects plotted on your calculator. It will help you to recognise the relationship between parts of a polynomial and their effect on a graph, too.
