Casio FX991EX Scientific Calculator 192x63

Product Information

The demands of the A-Level Maths syllabus can be met comfortably with this calculator – that’s not saying a graphical calculator would not be of great help, as it very much would be. 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. 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.

When students know the theory and feel ready to go deeper, they can take advantage of features that are available on a graphing handset but not on a scientific calculator.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.

The calculator must be able to do calculations and problem-solving at the Maths level required. More specifically, the least advanced calculator used for your A-Level Maths comprises algebraic equation qualities, advanced table creation, and various other functions superior to that of any GCSE calculator. 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. The fx-CG50 brings maths to life with the next generation of graphic calculator technologies; including high-resolution colour display with natural textbook display, innovative picture plot function enabling analysis of images and video, and an extensive range of graphic functions. The fx-CG50 has all the functionality of the fx-CG20 with the addition of 3D graphs. 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. 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 ExaminationsThere are so many calculators out there its very easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of choice you have available to you. This article will be delving which ones we recommend and which we think you should avoid.
