CG233 Calculating a value from a proportion of a normal distribution
This short video shows how to calculate a “cut off” value for a given proportion of a normal distribution, sometimes called an “inverse normal” calculation, using the Statistics app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.

CG512 Obtaining graphical information
This short video shows how to obtain graphical information like x intercepts and turning points from the graph of a function drawn using the Graph app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CG511 Drawing a graph
This short video shows how to draw the graph of function using the Graph app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CG811 Use a recursive formula to create a table
This short video shows how to use a recursive relationship to generate a table of values using the Recursion app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
CG122 Generating (pseudo) random numbers

The wind in your sails (9860)
This is a replacement unit to facilitate the teaching and learning of right-angle triangle trigonometry. The students begin by ‘learning’ how to sail a boat and then engage with various aspects of sailing and as a result learn about the fundamental trigonometric ratios. The unit comes with pre-made 9860 Geometry files that enable the students to sail virtual boats, collect data on their sailing and through this learn about trigonometric ratios. The unit includes traditional learning and problems as well as some not so traditional learning.
Optimisation (9860)
When studying quadratic functions/calculus, do too many of your students find ‘optimisation questions’ hard? Have you ever wondered why? The booklet you can download here is the unit of work that supports the ideas presented in a number of workshops during 2011 and 2012 that outlined why students find the ideas hard. Basically, traditional teaching-and-doing approaches fail to focus on what is really happening: the measurement on one dimension and the subsequent calculation of other dimensions. Also, algebraic simplification turns out to be the devil – the patterns in the symbols are lost and so generalisation is not ‘seen’! The approach in the booklet supports the idea of each student developing a calculation and then comparing and contrasting to it other’s calculations – it is in this that the symbolic patterns appear and the generalisation literally reveals itself.
CG131 Calculating the value of a derivative
This short video shows how to determine a derivative value, i.e. the value of a derivative function for a given x value, using the Run.Mat app of a CASIO fx-CG series graphics calculator. CG20 AU and CG50 AU versions presented.
