FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
The newest additions to Casio’s popular line of PRIZM™ graphing calculators, CAS fx-CG500 and fx-CG50, offer students a fun and engaging way to learn in the modern-day classroom. Designed for middle school math classes and beyond, the CAS fx-CG500, is a next-generation graphing calculator complete with a high-resolution, color touchscreen LCD, conveying a Natural Textbook display in addition to other features that are permitted for use on the AP, SAT I and II, PSAT and NMSQT exams. Students will be fully prepared to take on the school year, as well as all their exams, with features of the CG500 that enhance users’ understanding of mathematics. Its drag-and-drop functionality enables students to quickly and intuitively pull information from one representation into another, while its split-screen functionality allows simultaneous viewing of functions and graphs. The CG500 is ideal for higher levels of mathematics and include advanced CAS for symbolic computation, built-in graphing of conic sections, interactive equation solver, matrix operations and inverses and more. Another model from Casio that is sure to be a key tool for students in their upcoming school year is the fx-CG50, which offers 3D graphing capabilities and the ability to easily draw 3D graphs such as planes, cylinders and spheres, and view them from various angles in order to better analyze their shape. The fx-CG50 is also jam-packed with features that enable students to solve the most challenging equations and enhance their understanding of mathematics. In particular the Picture Plot function enables users to plot graphs over pictures of real-life scenes and offers a color LCD with a full textbook-style display. Additionally, the PRIZM includes a multitude of functions that leverage the color LCD in graphing objects like dotted lines, circles and bars, and grid lines. Projectors
Casio’s full portfolio of classroom projectors features LampFree technology. By combining a laser and LED light source, Casio projectors are a unique, high-brightness, mercury-free tool that uses half the amount of power per unit than its traditional lamp-based counterparts. These LampFree offerings save educators time and money because they require minimal maintenance and eliminate the cost of replacement lamps. Casio projectors have a 20,000-hour lifespan, which is the equivalent to approximately 18 years of school use. That means that schools can save nearly $2,500 when compared to traditional mercury lamp projectors. Additionally, in an industry where most projection lamps come with only a 90-day warranty, Casio backs its unique design with three to five years, depending on the projector.
