About this deal

Casio has such a stranglehold over the UK market that they could afford to force new models on us without much risk of it being rejected in favour of the competition, and I suspect the major changes were really only to justify what are in fact negligible advances. For example, previously you could just press 3 (or 9 on the A-level model) to go into Table mode; now you have to use the arrow keys to select it and then press either OK or EXE.

Also, Casio have discontinued the grey model, which may explain the appearance of the “limited edition” white one!

It’s possible that there may be some that are helpful for A-level Further Maths, but I’m not familiar with that specification and I honestly don’t think there are ANY improvements – other than the new, more logical, location of the equation solver – for a student doing the single Maths A-level. It’s a shame that the school’s equipment supplier / Casio can influence the Maths department’s teaching without a considered review of such an important change. From the comments I’ve seen on social media from other Maths teachers, I’m far from alone in having a strong preference for the older Classwiz fx-83/85GT X and 991EX models over these new CW calculators.

  • Clip-on on protective hard cover included
  • 290+ functions
  • Dual powered, solar with battery backup and Auto power-off. The Casio fx-991 CWis Casio’s most advanced scientific calculator, providing 540+ functions and is suitable for Key Stages 3,4 and 5, to include A /AS level. I haven’t noticed that myself – never had any complaints about the older ones – but I’m happy to list it as a plus. p>

The new interface features scrolling menus, all mathematical functions available in a single catalogue key and number formats available in a format key.

    We are told that the intention was to make them more like a phone to use (though I find it hard to see much resemblance myself) and that younger children who aren’t already accustomed to a particular scientific calculator layout have adapted well to its use.The answer always defaults to a fraction, and to get it into decimal format you have to either (a) press FORMAT, use the arrow keys to select the preferred format and press OK or EXE, or (b) press Shift then EXE to get a decimal approximation (i.

    In short, the new CW calculators are a lot more complicated to use than the older X models, and don’t offer any significant improvements that I can see. uk you can find – among other things – a great-value suite of courses covering the entire GCSE (and Edexcel IGCSE) Foundation content, and the “Flying Start to A-level Maths” course for those who want to get top grades at GCSE and hit the ground running at A-level – please take a look! Designed for ease of use and therefore easier for the teaching, learning and comprehension of Maths. There’s also a “Back” button that’s useful if you take a wrong turn – which happens frequently with these calculators! New ClassWiz brings an intuitive and easy to access design and interface, alongside great new features that encourage learning and exploration.
