Casio FX991EX Scientific Calculator 192x63

Product Information

Schools should be telling you to get the CW now since that’s the current model, but some haven’t caught up yet and are still telling students to buy the GTX – which is now hard to get hold of new at a reasonable price. The same thing happened when the GTX replaced the GT Plus.

A useful FAQ document on using calculators is also available from JCQ. The main change is an explicit mention of Exam mode. This is not only an issue for A Level Maths/Further Maths, so please share with your colleagues teaching subjects with high maths content (especially chemistry). OCR specifications Teachers will know that students need to build their theoretical knowledge of these topics before exploring them in greater depth. Graphic calculators can aid in the development of this fundamental understanding by offering new ways of looking at concepts that can be difficult to grasp on paper alone. Texas Instruments TI-84 PLUS CE Graphing Calculator is more affordable than the NSpire one. This is the ideal option for you if you want a calculator that is not only reasonably priced but also maintains the excellence of Texas Instruments. Texas Instruments TI-84 PLUS CE Graphing Calculator If you are utilizing Casio Fx-83 GT for your A-Level Maths, it is highly advised that you should definitely buy a new calculator for your A-levels. To avoid wasting valuable test time fumbling about with a calculator you have never used before, it is best to do this as soon as possible so that you can become acclimated to your new calculator. Once students have been introduced to the calculator they’re using at A-level and begin to get to grips with it, you can start to think about different ways to help them maximise the benefits of the technology.

Are you sure you want to exit this session?

This means that a new calculator must be bought for your A-Levels, one that has more functions and is more advanced, to handle the advanced calculations and equations you’ll come across. There are a few better alternatives than a scientific calculator, and they are listed below. Graphical calculators absolutely ARE allowed in A-level exams (in fact they are also allowed in GCSE/IGCSE exams) so long as the memory has been reset to delete any possible programmable content (as you can write and save a lot more to the memory of these). 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.

Summary statistics required for A Level Maths include mean, median, quartiles and standard deviation. There will be questions where knowledge of statistical formulae is needed, but there is an expectation that students will be able to off load these calculations to the calculator when appropriate. This will be reflected in the number of marks. It also happens to be a graphical calculator, so it can plot graphs. It also has a 3D function, meaning that you can work with the x, y, and z planes. The A-level models have additional functions such as solving quadratics and simultaneous equations which can be useful at GCSE too, as well as Statistics functions that you don’t need until A-level. So if there’s any chance of you continuing with Maths beyond GCSE then it’s a worthwhile investment. (You’ll probably need it if you do Core Maths too, though it does depend on which board and which modules you study. It – or an equivalent – is certainly required for the Statistical Techniques option on the AQA spec.) It boasts having the same layout and symbols as that of a textbook, meaning that its answers are easier to understand. 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

The best thing about this calculator is the range of functions you get for the price – it has just enough that you can get by in your A-Level, whilst staying at a low price. Graphical calculators are recommended for your A-Level exams, as they include more functions than your average calculator. In the calculator’s Distributions menu, students can access normal and binomial distributions. The ‘Normal CD’ and ‘Inverse Normal’ functions, in particular, are likely to prove highly useful in A-level maths exams. It’s not absolutely essential to have a graphical calculator, however, having a piece of equipment such as the Casio FX-CG50 does give you an edge over everyone else. Cons: Much more expensive than a standard calculator. Takes time to learn how to use. Features that used to make these super useful are now widely available on smartphones.

As far as you know the Casio FX-83GT Scientific Calculator is allowed for use in every UK exam where a calculator is permitted and become the most affordable option for GCSE Students because of over 260 functions of its including ratio, digit separator, advanced statistics, advanced statistics, advanced tables and variables list. It contains all the fundamental features and capabilities that have the ability to solve most of the questions required at A-Level Maths. The Casio Scientific FX – 83 GT It’s also important for students to ensure their calculator has the appropriate settings and that they’re happy with how it’s set up. Switching to exam mode on the fx-CG50, for example, effectively gives students a clean slate to work from in their examinations. They also have options such as changing the mode of calculation and choosing how they want to display fractions, functions and other elements. This can help to ease pressure and enable efficient use of time in exams.An advanced scientific calculator is the minimum requirement for students who have achieved the necessary grades at GCSE and want to go on to study A-level maths. Versions of this calculator also include a solar panel to conserve energy whilst in use, and so this means that less long-term money is spent on battery life. Encouraging them to pursue their own avenues of exploration with their calculators, for example, could help to spark students’ interest and highlight connections between seemingly distinct topics. Exploration and experimentation

We learn a lot from our conversations with teachers at Casio, including what it’s like for students to navigate the GCSE and A-level maths curriculum. For GCSE Maths, you will need a scientific calculator, but just about any model will do; see AQA’s guidance below for a list of the functions you need. You should really be buying your calculator a few months before your exams. That way, you can get comfortable with all the different buttons and functions before you must use them in your exam. Do you really need a graphical calculator?It’s also possible to access summary statistics for any set of data entered into the device, calculate correlation coefficients and a lot more. Complete the short form that accompanies your product. Please ensure that you complete all of the sections, as this will guarantee the timely processing of your return/exchange. It’s also worth considering an A-level model, especially if you’re doing the Higher Tier and there’s a possibility that you might continue to study Maths in some form beyond GCSE. However, this calculator is a lot smaller than some of the other calculators on this list. I am by no means endorsing you buying this calculator, but maybe it’d be useful for calculating the time you should spend revising? This can be a challenging topic, especially for those sitting higher-tier papers, so the more support students can get as they prepare for and sit their exams, the better.
