Casio FX-CG50 Prizm New project: Updated X's & O's: Will1162 has developed a simple tic-tac-toe game written in C for the Casio Prizm series of calculators, featuring multiplayer support, adjustable AI difficulty, and many quality of life elements. He plans to continue updating the program as he develops new features, so head over to the.
Intuitive operability and G-Solve features make it easy to use the features of fx-CG50.
So you can spend less time teaching how to use graphing calculators (, and more time teaching mathematics).
The user-friendly Icon menu, Function keys and Interactive format enable intuitive operation.
Function keys
Solve the Polynomial equation.
x2 + 2x + 1 = 0
The solution is
x = -1
Interactive format
Solution
Use the G-Solve feature to easily solve problems involving intersections, roots, and integration.
Find the point of intersection of two graphs by simply pressing the 'G-Solv' key.
Graphing calculators have a variety of functions covering from primary to higher education. Students can cultivate mathematical thinking through Graph functions operated by themselves.

Polar coordinate graph
Z=graph
Rotating body graphs
Students find answers in different ways.
For example, students can use either Graph, Equation, or Matrix function to solve the simultaneous equations below.
Solve the simultaneous equations.
{y = xy = -x + 2
The solution is
x = 1
y = 1

It’s difficult to understand 3D graphs used in textbooks.
The 3D Graph feature of the fx-CG50 makes it easy to draw and explore 3D graphs. This feature promotes mathematical understanding of 3D graphs and helps in learning solid figures.
3D graphs can be drawn in various ways.
It’s easy to draw 3D graphs using templates. (*An industry-first feature)
Rotating body graphs can be drawn in two ways (rotating around X-Axis or Y-Axis).
Recognize combinations of 3D graphs and interactive relationships between two or three graphs mathematically.
Cylinder and lane expressions
3D Graph
VECTOR format
These functions are effective in exploring 3D Graphs geometrically.
①Zoom in and zoom out ②Rotation vertically and horizontally ③Cross section ④X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis view.
These functions are effective in exploring 3D graphs geometrically.
Horizontal rotation
X-axis view
Explore the coordinates on the surface of 3D graphs (all kinds) by using the cursor keys to move the trace pointer.
Explore the intersection (coordinates, line) between 3D graphs (line and line, line and plane, plane and plane).
Expression of the intersection line or the coordinates of intersection
Explore the relationship (parallel, orthogonal, etc.) between 3D graphs (line and line, line and plane, plane and plane).
*Based on CASIO information as of August 2017
Examine intersections between lines, planes and spheres.
Students get the possibility to visualize the most important intersections between lines, planes and spheres: The intersection point, line or circle. This can be very helpful for them to develop solution strategies.
Additionally different input methods are used in all these examples.
Definition by vector, definition by equation.
Definition by vector, definition by equation.
Students can view graphs from various angles, and explore the intersection between 2 objects visually by themselves.
Examine the relationship between lines and planes and their intersections.
Teachers and pupils can study the relationship between lines and planes and can examine their intersections.
Intersection : Intersection point, intersection line or Not Found, etc.
Relation : Intersection, Parallel, Orthogonal, or Skewed lines etc.

The fx-CG50 comes built-in with Python, a programming language used in the development of Internet search engines, social media sites, robots, etc.
Python is attracting attention in the field of education as a learning tool that cultivates algorithmic thinking and has been adopted for use in textbooks.
*Python is a registered trademark of the Python Software Foundation.
Python mode supports a version of MicroPython Version 1.9.4, which has been adapted to run on this calculator. Please note that MicroPython is different from the Python that runs on a computer.
Try to program in Python and explore by inserting various values.
Data-logger can be used with graphing calculators and is effective for both mathematics education and science and technology education.
This feature has Auto-ID recognition, which enables automatic drawing of graphs of collected data with no complicated settings.
This feature includes Manual Sampling Mode, which enables you to freely draw graphs of collected data.
Sketchup license code. Periodic Table
Conversion
This mode allows you to quickly prepare your calculator for exams. This mode restricts access to memory, programs, functions and applications, so that these features would not be available during exams.
New Reset function is added as Reset function. (Reset1)

When I first saw the Casio fx-CG50 in action I was amazed by the color and the power at my fingertips. My students fell in love with the simplicity of its menu driven icons. They commented that it was like using a smartphone. As a teacher I look for technology that will support what I am doing in class and not complicate my lessons. The fx-CG50 replaced my need for complicated button pushing instructions and allowed me to focus on teaching mathematics at a deeper level. My lessons could focus on understanding the math behind the solution on the screen. I can explore mathematics like addition, geometry, statistics, probability, calculus, 3D graphing and beyond. The fx-CG50’s built in functions allow for use in science classes. Students can convert between units and use physics constants in calculations. There is even a built in high resolution periodic table of elements. It is the one essential tool in my S.T.E.M toolbox.
