How To Master Your Casio Calculator -Total Calculator Skills

The First Setup Menu enables you to switch between the text book display MATH mode and the more traditional LINE display. Change your angle measurements between degrees radians and even gradians. You can also choose the number of decimal places to display a number to.

I refer to Standard Index Form in the video as it is known as this in the UK. You may also know this as Science Notation (Hence it being Sci mode!)

How can the calculator present numbers in standard from 9science notation)? It also can round the number for you.

If you press down when you access SET UP, you will see a second menu, with the ability to refine features such as the screen's contrast, or add frequency to your STAT mode functions.

There are several buttons available to deal with numbers with powers. We explore the input any power button and the reciprocal button.

You should notice a button which looks like this...(-) on the right hand side.

This is the best button to use when inputting negative numbers, rather than the subtract button.

The button itself suggest you can put brackets/parentheses around the negative sign.

This is essential when raising negative numbers. For example

-6² will give you the answer -36

(-6)² will give you the answer 36.

If you wanted the square of the number negative 6, the second result is correct. The calculator will prioritise powers before negatives, so be careful.

There are two buttons that enable you to input logarithms, one is more traditional whilst one capitalises on the textbook display of the calculator.

You can change the standard log button from using the default base of 10.

The Natural logarithm (ln) and Euler's number (e) are inverse functions. This lectures uses the calculator to explore the relationship.

Exploring Sin, Cos and Tan and how to obtain the reciprocal functions Sec, Cosec and Cot.

A breif look at where to find the hyperbolic functions.

In this video, we use the ANS button with and iteration formula, to repeatedly refine a value for x.

You can create frequency tables in STAT mode by switching the frequency function on. You can then calculate the sum and mean of data in frequency tables and grouped data through use of the mid-point.

Finding two roots means more work for you to do. Find out what you can do if you don't find a root with your first trail range.

Can TABLE mode help with simultaneous equations? Find out here how you can use TABLE mode and a Trial and Improvement method to find solutions to simultaneous equations.

As mentioned earlier in the course, you can find out how to switch between MATH and LINE display.

See how you can use the standard form (scientific notation) feature of the calculator to complete calculations.

Lost your dice? You can use your calculator instead. See how you can use the random integer feature to simulate 1 or two dice.

Discover how you can enter diagnostic mode and test your calculator's functionality.

Some of the extra features that are available on the fx-300ES PLUS and some other models. Download this pdf for the interactive content.

If you have the UK edition or a version that does not have the dedicated GCD and LCM functions above the x and ÷ buttons, this trick can help you find the highest common factor and least common multiple.
