Scientific vs Graphic Calculators – What’s the Difference?

Scientific and graphic calculators are designed for different levels of
mathematics. The right choice depends on the calculations, functions and
subjects the student needs to work with.

  • Scientific Calculators

    Scientific calculators are designed for everyday mathematics and scientific calculations. They are commonly used for arithmetic, fractions, powers, roots, trigonometry, logarithms and other functions used across mathematics and science subjects.


    The Casio FX-82AU PLUS II 2nd Edition is a practical option for students and schools that need a scientific calculator without graphing capability.

How to Choose a Calculator for School

When choosing a calculator for school, start with the requirements provided by the student’s teacher or school. Different mathematics and science courses may require different functions, and a more advanced calculator is not always necessary.

A scientific calculator such as the Casio FX-82AU PLUS II 2nd Edition is suited to general mathematics and science calculations where graphing is not required. For more advanced mathematics requiring graphs and additional mathematical functions, the Casio FX-9860GIII provides graphing capability.

For students completing NCEA assessments, it is also important to check the calculator requirements for the particular subject and assessment before purchasing.
