Casio FX991EX Scientific Calculator 192x63

Product Information

You can access free training that provides an introduction to the device, led by qualified teachers and focused on a specific aspect of the A-level maths curriculum. 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 classroom The fx-CG50 is the most advanced graphic calculator in Casio’s range. It has a number of features that make it a powerful tool for working with statistics, including the capability to: For all our current AS and A Level Maths and Further Maths qualifications, allowed calculators may be used in the exams for any function they can perform. We recently spoke to James Davis, Head of KS5 Further Mathematics at Newstead Wood School, who stressed how valuable it can be to use graphing technology when studying statistics.

Students may deal with spreadsheets, matrix computations, statistics, and more by using the calculator’s 552 features. Additionally, it contains built-in statistics tables that let you calculate the number fast rather than spending time looking through the minuscule statistics table. What a calculator should and must not have for assessments is covered in two documents, the JCQ’s Instructions for Conducting Examinations and the specification document for your particular qualification. There is a wide range of calculators that satisfy the requirements, and there are computer based emulators that teachers can use to demonstrate in class (and could be used as part of special access arrangements). Instructions for Conducting Examinations However, there are some universal features that all the best calculators have. Long battery life, sleek design, and ease of use are important features to look out for when deciding on what the best calculator for you is.This is the best calculator for A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths by far, but it does come at a price. With more functions than any other calculator in this list, it’s guaranteed to help you get through exams. This calculator is much more advanced than the other calculators I’ve mentioned, and in my opinion is the best choice. This 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. 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.

This was, in fact, the same calculator that I used for my GCSE, and so I can confirm that it is perfect for GCSE standard questions.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.
