CASIO FX-CG50 Graphic Calculator

Product Information

Casio offers free, one-hour training sessions led by experts, which put the power of this calculator into context with A-level question demonstrations. Ask any teacher, and they’ll likely agree: displaying probability distributions has typically been a challenge on many graphing calculators. Fortunately, that’s all changing. With the new Distribution App on the fx-CG50, it’s now possible to visualise both discrete and continuous distributions with a graph. We spoke with experienced Maths Education Consultant Gerard Dummett to learn more about this big leap forward. How the Distribution App enhances probability visualisation

In this case, students will want to know the value of the variable that will cause the hypothesis to be either accepted or rejected. That value is typically 5% or 2.5%, but the problem is 5% or 2.5% may only correspond to a specific value if the distribution is continuous.

However, for learners who are operating at greater depth or who want access to the broadest possible range of tools, a graphic calculator such as the Casio fx-CG50 is a more powerful option. Students will need access to at least trigonometric functions. The minimum-requirement scientific calculator is the fx-83G CW or fx-85GT CW. These have all the functionality required for GCSE. However the advanced scientific calculator fx-991CW will give students an advantage for both learning and the exam in solving equations. Please see our model comparison to evaluate these calculators.They can always find one solution by working through the equation algebraically, but this might not be enough to get full marks. By graphing the equation on a calculator, they can instantly see how many points of intersection exist. What’s more, they can feel confident that the graph they’re looking at is accurate, which isn’t always the case when drawing by hand. Greater power to explore challenging topics However, the advanced scientific calculator fx-991EX will give students an advantage for both learning and the exam in solving equations. Please see below to compare these calculators.

When students have the capability to easily plot and analyse graphs, it opens up a world of possibilities to visualise mathematical problems in different ways. As well as contributing to stronger understanding, this can prompt discussion and encourage learners to experiment with different values and parameters in graphs. 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. Let’s take statistics as an example. The range of functionality available on graphic calculators includes the option to calculate probability distributions and graph the results.One such query relates to graphic calculators, and how students can feel confident that the model they’re using is the best calculator for their needs.
