Casio America, Inc., a leader and pioneer in the education space, has developed and enhanced essential educational resources and technologies to spark student engagement in mathematics. With Casio’s new line of color calculators, students and teachers can choose calculators that fit their education needs and reflect their personal style.

Whether it is a basic calculator for students in an elementary level math class or a hi-tech graphing calculator for college students, Casio’s expanded portfolio of calculators and learning resources help outfit students for each new school year and offer a variety of choices for back to school shopping. Casio’s color calculators include two of Casio’s widely popular fraction and scientific calculators, the fx-260 and fx-300ESPLUS. The fx-260 is an all-purpose scientific calculator with 144 built-in functions, now available in pink and black.

Available in pink, blue and white, the fx-9750GII is an easy to use, durable calculator that provides probability, regressions, and unit conversion functions as well as pie charts and bar graphs. Designed for grades six through twelve and available in pink and gray, the fx-9860GII offers a large, high-resolution screen with icon-based menus. The fx-9860GII also has a LCD backlight for superior visibility when viewing in a dim environment. Furthermore, it provides enhanced technological features such as a built-in spreadsheet which includes a graphing function that can be used for problems that require plotting points on a graph or entering x-data and y-data in a table.
