Scientific Calculators

Shop scientific calculators for school, TAFE and university, including Casio scientific calculator, graphing and CAS models. A scientific calculator is bought for a syllabus, not a feature count: junior secondary maths needs trigonometry, powers, roots and basic statistics, while some senior subjects call for a graphing or CAS model. Check your school's booklist and exam rules before you buy.

Scientific calculators FAQs

Which scientific calculator do I need for school?

Start with your school's booklist. Junior and middle secondary usually need a standard scientific model such as the Casio FX-82AU PLUS II. Some senior subjects require a graphing or CAS calculator instead.

What's the difference between scientific, graphing and CAS calculators?

A scientific calculator handles trigonometry, powers, roots, logs and statistics. A graphing calculator adds a larger screen that plots functions. A CAS (computer algebra system) calculator can also work with algebra, solving and simplifying equations symbolically.

Can I use any calculator in an exam?

No. Exam boards approve specific models, and a calculator that is too capable can be barred. Check the rules for your state and subject before buying.

Do you supply class sets for schools?

Yes. The Jastek box of 6 suits small sets. For larger school orders, add products to a quote or call 1300 783 961. Schools can order on account.
