Graphic Calculators

This book is intended for use with the Casio fx-9860G AU graphics calculator. It includes a substantial revision to previous publications of MAWA over the past decade concerned with the earlier Casio cfx-9850G series of calculators. Over that decade, graphics calculators have continued to be the major opportunity for secondary school students to have regular access to technology for mathematical work, both in Australia and elsewhere.

The exercises in each chapter have been designed to help develop specific calculator skills to know thoroughly where to find things on the calculator.

The activities in each chapter serve a wider variety of purposes. In some cases they suggest some of the kinds of mathematical problems and situations that can be tackled using the calculator.

Written by Barry Kissane and Marian Kemp.

Making the most of your Casio Cfx-9850gb Plus This exciting new publication is designed for Year 12 students (also very useful for Year 11's) and aims to give them greater skills in using the Casio Graphic Calculator in the TEE.

The book is written with direct reference to the three TEE Maths courses and demonstrates, using screen dumps and explanations, practical ways to solve particular types of questions for the TEE papers. Many different types of questions are addressed, with specific methodologies being used for particular questions.

Most teachers and certainly all students will benefit enormously from this well written book.

Ray Leeman is an experienced TEE marker and last year was chief marker for the Calculus exam. He has included many techniques that some teachers will be unaware of. Every student should have their own copy of this valuable edition to allow them to become more effective and efficient in the use of the calculator in problem solving.

This volume is a substantial revision to the publication almost six years ago of More Mathematics with a Graphics Calculator: Casio cfx-9850G. Over those six years, graphics calculators have continued to be the major opportunity for secondary school students to have regular access to technology for mathematical work, both in Australia and elsewhere.

The major changes in this revision include new chapters to address inferential statistics and financial mathematics, and substantial revisions to the data analysis and equations chapters, but there have been significant improvements in many other parts of the book as well, too numerous to mention in detail here.

The following graphics calculators are all included within the scope of the book: Casio cfx-9850G, cfx-9850Ga PLUS, cfx-9850GB PLUS, fx-9750 and cfx-9950GB PLUS.
