The Prizm does not have a CAS, or computer algebra system, so it doesn’t manipulate variables. It’s easy to use operating system doesn’t require learning a lot of syntax, so a beginner will feel right at home. It includes apps that make it appropriate for use in statistics, financial math, geometry, and more. This is an all-purpose calculator, designed for students from beginning algebra through calculus and beyond. It was actually the first company to release a graphing calculator. It’s not entirely surprising that Casio would be the first to take the plunge on a color grapher, as its always been innovative with graphing calculators. The display features over 65,000 colors, a 384 x 216 resolution, and back lighting. With the tremendous popularity of high resolution iPods and similar devices that have a similar cost to graphing calculators, you do have to wonder why it took so long for someone to try this.

The Prizm’s capabilities in terms of resolution, range of colors, and the ability to display photographs have changed the game, beating Texas Instruments into the color calculator market by a full 6 months. The Casio Prizm was not the first color graphing calculator, but it was so much better than previous efforts (which only displayed a few colors), it might as well have been. That’s the question we were asking when the Prizm was released. Now, with the release of their updated Prizm model, the fx-CG50, the Prizm continues to be a top of line choice for students at a budget price. There’s a reason it consistently makes its way onto my list of the best graphing calculators.
I’ve used it quite a bit over the last few years, and I have been very impressed with the Prizm.
When it first came out, Casio generously provided me an fx-CG10 to review for my readers. I don’t think there’s any doubt that the Prizm did create ripples in Dallas since TI released their own color calculator, the TI-Nspire CX (review) a few months later. From the first announcement of the Prizm’s, Casio had promotional footage touting it as the first true competitor to the TI-Nspire. Since its release in early 2011, the Casio Prizm has been a calculator that has caught the eye some of the some students and teachers traditionally focused on the Texas Instruments lineup of graphing calculators.
