About this deal
We’ve added brand-new functions such as highest common factor, lowest common multiple and probability simulations. The large Natural Textbook Display shows mathematical expressions like roots and fractions as they appear in your textbooks which increases comprehension because results are easier to understand. As you can see from the images below, most of the functions on the new calculators were in much the same places as on the older GT Plus, so it was easy to learn to use the new models. This may well have been true in the past, but the exam boards have got wise and nowadays exam questions are carefully worded so that the possession of a graphical calculator doesn’t give the candidate a significant advantage. br />
fx-85GTX contains additional features such as clearer display, clearer menus, faster processor and 14 additional functions.
The new interface features scrolling menus, all mathematical functions available in a single catalogue key and number formats available in a format key. We are hosting ClassWiz webinars where we will explore the popular functions, demonstrating new and underused features and we will Introduce you to the new web based emulator.
Similarly, you can no longer jump back to basic calculator mode by pressing 1; you have to use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the right menu option. li>

Another one that’s been brought to my attention: the functionality of the button has been changed so that it no longer “attaches” itself to the preceding number.In short, the new CW calculators are a lot more complicated to use than the older X models, and don’t offer any significant improvements that I can see. We have received an e-mail from 6th form college suggesting the need for the 991CW for my younger son who has just started Further Maths. He is willing to give this up to his brother but the college e-mail did say they will be using the 991CW for demonstrations in class.
