Casio FX991EX Scientific Calculator 192x63

Product Information

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. There are lots of options out there for graphical calculators and Casio’s FX-CG50 is a very good one. It has a lot of more advanced features like drawing 3d graphs, spreadsheet tools, histograms and other statistical features. It also has some neat features that allow you to scan a QR code and get your calculator output straight onto your phone or computer. But graphical calculators do take a lot of getting used to and although it looks like they can do a lot of exam questions for you there’s also a lot of work in learning how to do it. And in a world where smartphones give us easy access to online maths tools like Wolfram Alpha graphical calculators have become a harder sell.

It also features a solar panel (alongside a battery) to charge, and so there is no worry of it running out during an exam and leaving you helpless. In addition, its lightweight case makes it easy to carry around, so it’s perfect for the hustle and bustle of college life. Additionally, because this calculator has a natural display, the equations are shown just like they are in textbooks. Additionally, a strong solar panel is included, thereby eliminating the requirement for battery changes. In conclusion, this calculator is the most cost-effective choice offering you the bare essential elements you’ll need to pass your A-level Maths curriculum. 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.

Support

You must carry a calculator with you to all of your courses, laboratories, test locations, and exam centers. As a result, make sure the calculator you choose is portable and lightweight. 1.3. Sufficiently Advanced This powerful calculator enables you to plot and analyse graphs and their transformations, import data directly over USB, plot data charts and calculate statistics, calculate and visualise probability distributions, plot and solve graphs in 3D, calculate matrix and vector arithmetic, perform complex calculations not possible on a scientific calculator, calculate spreadsheets and recursive sequences, and whole host more. Calculators are a powerful tool to support students in examinations and throughout their learning, but like any tool, they need to be used in the right way. 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.

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. However, when students are working at greater depth and feel ready to go further in their study of statistics, they could gain a lot from using a calculator with more extensive functionality. While exploring a subject like quadratic graphs and equations, for example, students can use a graphing calculator to plot a table of values and analyse the shape of the graph. Any calculator which allows you to store any kind of data such as mathematical formulae or text is strictly prohibited. One of the insights we’ve heard from education experts is that having access to the right tools becomes particularly important when students are expected to demonstrate deeper understanding of statistics at A-level.Accessing probabilities from the required standard statistical distributions is something that students can struggle with, so ensure that your class are familiar and confident with this. Our A Level Maths specifications clearly state that it is the binomial and normal distributions that students need. Graphical calculators The standard GCSE model in the UK for the past seven or eight years has been the Casio Classwiz fx-83/85GT X (centre in the image), though in early 2023 Casio brought out the fx-83/85GT CW, which is very different and which has replaced the GT X (despite a poor reception from UK Maths teachers). More on that in this blog post. Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS Color Graphing Calculator with Student Software (PC/Mac) is considerably more expensive since they are designed for performance and quality. The calculator is highly advanced and has all the capabilities of the FX-CG50 in addition to many more. You never have to be concerned about not having the newest technology because its operating software can be updated. The calculator has alphabetic keys that allow the user to access a wide range of additional functions and expressions. Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS Graphing Calculator Our nominated carrier is Parcel Force. Deliveries are made Monday – Friday between 9.00am – 6.00pm (excluding Bank Holidays). 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?

This calculator lands itself at the very bottom of my list of best calculators for A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths, so definitely make sure you buy one of the other calculators I’ve talked about. 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 GTPros: A fun tool for keen mathematicians. Will plot graphs for you in exams. Your teacher will be impressed by your commitement. 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. 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. 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. 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.
