Navigating the VCE math calculator maze without breaking the bank

If you have a student heading into Year 11 or 12 in Victoria, you have probably already had a look at the VCE mathematics booklist. While buying new textbooks and online access codes is expected, the price tag attached to the required math technology catches a lot of parents completely off guard.

For students taking VCE General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, or Specialist Mathematics, a standard scientific calculator will not cut it. The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority allows and expects students to use a massive piece of tech called a Computer Algebra System calculator, commonly known as a CAS.

The two heavy hitters in Victorian schools are the Casio ClassPad II and the Texas Instruments TI-Nspire CX II CAS. If you walk into a major retail chain to buy one of these brand new, you are looking at a bill of anywhere between 250 and 290 dollars.

That is an incredibly steep price for a tool that your child might only use for two years before heading off to a university course or career that does not require it. Fortunately, you do not have to buy brand new to give your child exactly what they need for their exams.

Every single unit is completely overhauled, meticulously cleaned, and rigorously tested to ensure all buttons, screens, and operating systems function like they just came out of the factory box.
