“We are pleased to be adding another mathematics technology tool to our Education line-up,” said John Casey, General Manager of Casio’s Education Division. “This extends Casio’s commitment to making math easy by continuing to produce products that are easy to use and a beneficial aid in the teaching and learning process.”
The ClassPad 330 comes with all the same functions as its predecessor, the ClassPad 300. This includes an impressive collection of applications that support self-study,such as 3D Graphing, Geometry and eActivity, used for creating discovery based lesson, and lots more!
The new features of the ClassPad 330 include upgraded CAS (Computer Algebra System) Technology, enhancements to the Geometry Application and a Stat Wizard for analyzing tests, intervals and distributions, useful in AP Statistics. Also, three new applications were added: Differential Equation Graph, Financial and Probability.
The ClassPad 330 lets you input and display expressions as they appear in a textbook. Factorization of expressions, calculation of limit values of functions, and other operations can be performed quickly and easily while viewing the answers on the large LCD screen. The ClassPad 330 is equipped with versatile graphing tools for 3D graphing and drawing of geometric figures, providing plenty of support for the students’ math studies.
The interface on the ClassPad 330 uses an intuitive pull-down menu format that simplifies even complex operations. Solutions, expressions, and other items can be selected with the tap of the stylus. The ClassPad 330 supports drag and drop within and between applications allowing for multiple ways to view and explore mathematics. It also supports copy and paste, as well as other pen-based operations that help minimize key operations.
The eActivity application is a powerful component of the ClassPad 330 that provides a simple way to create dynamic discovery based lessons for use in the classroom or on the web. It is a perfect tool for online learning.
The ClassPad 330 encourages students to learn at their own pace and according to their own methods. It is a cross-curricular, cross-grade-level educational tool that promotes exploration, manipulation, and sharing of solutions. The ClassPad 330 allows for reflection on and understanding of the problems, and helps students to discover their own abilities.-Casio
