DOVER, N.J., April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- April is Mathematics Awareness Month and to help increase students' appreciation of the subject, Casio America, Inc., a leader and pioneer in the education space, offers an extensive portfolio of essential educational tools and technologies. Casio's full line of calculators and learning resources help students excel at any level, from elementary school through college, and they are available starting at just $8.99.
"At Casio, we are dedicated to providing the tools necessary to help students foster a deeper understanding of mathematics and ultimately advance their skills in a subject matter that often has a negative stigma," said, Yuji Sasajima, vice president of Casio's Consumer Products Division. "That is why we offer innovative, educational products that not only meet schools' requirements, but fit students' skill levels while also staying within parents' budgets."
For decades Casio has contributed to math education by developing forward-thinking calculators to enhance the learning experience. In 1985, Casio introduced the world's first graphing calculator, the fx-7000G, and in 2004 the company released the fx-82ES scientific calculator with a textbook display that showed fractions and root functions as they appeared in textbooks. Whether it is basic graphing calculators for students in a freshmen math class or a hi-tech graphing calculator for college students in a statistics course, Casio's expanded portfolio of calculators and learning resources help outfit students for every level.
Secondary Education:
The fx-9860GII, which is also available in a bubblegum pink color, is a perfect tool for secondary education students. Designed for grades six through twelve, this calculator offers an LCD backlit screen with icon-based menus and a Natural Textbook Display allowing students to view expressions just like they would in a print book. The fx-9860GII offers wide variety of graphing tools and provides enhanced technological features such as a built in spreadsheet that can be used for plotting points on a graph or entering x-data and y-data in a table. The fx-9860GII is available for an MSRP of $79.99.
Casio's PRIZM™, the world's first full color graphing calculator, offers all the top learning features to enhance high school students' understanding of mathematics.
