DOVER, N.J., Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio America, Inc., a leader in educational technology, is set to participate in several major mathematics education events throughout 2024, including the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Annual Meeting, the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics (NCSM) event, and the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics (ASSM) Annual Meeting. In addition to these events, Casio will continue to reinforce its strategic partnerships with key organizations such as Open Up Resources.

Casio at NCTM: Supporting Education Through Innovation
At NCTM 2024, taking place Sept. 25–28 in Chicago, Casio (booth No. 834) will present its comprehensive line of calculators designed for educational use, including scientific and graphing models. Among the highlights is the fx-CG100, a new addition to the ClassWiz family, designed to standardize keypad layouts across Casio calculators, making it easier for students to transition between models. While the new generation calculator was primarily developed for the French market as the GRAPH MATH+ Lycée, its introduction in the U.S. is planned for back-to-school 2025. Casio will also demonstrate the latest updates to ClassPad.net, including the integration of the fx-991CW scientific and fx-9750GIII graphing emulators.

Casio has a long history of participation in NCSM, Casio is also sponsoring key elements of the conference, including the conference bags and volunteer T-shirts.

At ASSM, Casio will sponsor a reception, providing a unique opportunity to engage directly with educational leaders and influencers. This sponsorship reflects Casio's ongoing dedication to advancing mathematics education through meaningful partnerships and conversations.
