PRIZM fx-CG10 Graphing Calculator
Revolutionary among graphing calculators, Casio’s PRIZM fx-CG10 is jam-packed with features that enhance students’ understanding of mathematics. While conventional graphing calculators require students to create graphs by inputting equations, the PRIZM offers a new way to learn by giving students the opportunity to create their own graphs over pictures of real-life scenes with the world’s first Picture Plot function. This helps students understand the functions from the graphs that they created on their own. Additionally, the calculator features a color LCD with a full textbook-style display, as well as a multitude of functions that leverage the color LCD in graphing objects like dotted lines, circles and bars, and grid lines. The PRIZM fx-CG10 is available for a MSRP of $129.99.
