Casiofx-55PLUS Fraction Calculator – Elementary/Middle School Math Made Easy | Fractions, Mixed Numbers, Simplification | Great for Classroom Learning

This great for the wood shop. I can usually add the fractions in my head but once in a while it's nice to double check with a calculator. Take s a little getting use to the extra button pushes to actually add or subtract to mixed values. And there is a feature you have to setup so you can the results as a mixed value, but it does work quite well. Big enough for me to use out my glasses.

This calculator works well. Very accurate and the color is bright and eye catchy. It's not too small, it's the average size calculator.

If you are studying or working extensively with fractions, this calculator is about the best choice from what's currently available.It has a nice sized display, and fractions are shown as they actually appear in textbooks.Yes, other calculators from Casio and Texas instruments, etc. can do the same thing, but the fx-55 Plus has a clean, colorful keypad, and there's a row of keys (in green) specifically dedicated to working with fractions, so if someone is learning the ropes with fractions, it's less intimidating than more versatile calculators.The other thing I like about this calculator (and most Casio LCD calculators) is that it's easy to adjust the display contrast.So if fractions are your main bag, this calculator is worth the investment. :)

My kid likes it. She is in 6th grade

Most suitable for college students and adults.

Great quality, works perfect, meet my son's needs for school's study.The price it's worth

I purchased this calculator because I wanted one to figure fractions for sewing pattern drafting/grading purposes. There is an outstanding fraction calculator available free on-line, but I wanted one that I could move around with and did not require a computer to function. So, after looking around I settled on this one based on the fact that it said it would calculate fractions, and the price was fair. The shipping was quick.The calculator does require you to 'set it up' to perform the function you desire it to do for you. In this case, reduced fractions. I would say the instruction booklet left a bit to be desired, but the calculator keys were intuitive, so it was fairly simply to fill in the gaps left by the 'instructions.' After about 15 minutes of playing with it, I found the combination I wanted and reduced fractions were being displayed on the screen. The data strokes required to get the numbers into the calculator is minimal and easy to remember, the display is clean, crisp and easy to read.Bottom line - if you want a nice sized calculator, easy to read display and somewhat intuitive data entry, this Casio will do the job just fine. I am very pleased with the fraction function and it is now a permanent part of my workroom!

I bought this based off of reviews. The actual packaging states it is for younger children but this in my opinion is inaccurate. It is actually perfect for 6th and 7th graders. My 7th grader needed a basic calculator this year. What I like about this one specifically is that you can do fractions on it which is great for rechecking his work. It comes with a slide case for it which is also nice and I don’t believe the description tells you that. The operation options are really nice and easy to use on this calculator. I can see my kids using this for many years to come. Great purchase!
