Abstract
This book is intended for use with the Casio fx-9860G AU graphics calculator. It includes a substantial revision to previous publications of MAWA over the past decade concerned with the earlier Casio cfx-9850G series of calculators. Over that decade, graphics calculators have continued to be the major opportunity for secondary school students to have regular access to technology for mathematical work, both in Australia and elsewhere.
The exercises in each chapter have been designed to help develop specific calculator skills to know thoroughly where to find things on the calculator.
The activities in each chapter serve a wider variety of purposes. In some cases they suggest some of the kinds of mathematical problems and situations that can be tackled using the calculator
