The SC 216 is a non-graphing scientific calculator designed for general school use. It features 240 functions that cover high school requirements for algebra, trigonometry, and statistics. The 2-line display allows students to view both the input expression and the calculated result at the same time, helping to monitor for entry errors.
The device is constructed from injection-molded ABS plastic, providing a rigid and lightweight frame for daily transport. It operates on an LR44 battery and includes a slide-on hard case for screen and keypad protection. The keys are made with a conductive rubber dome, providing a familiar tactile response for students working through complex homework assignments.
Usage Highlights
- Supports a wide range of functions, making it suitable for standard high school math curricula.
- The lightweight design fits easily into pencil cases or small desk organizers.
- Includes a protective shell that clips securely to the body for transport.
The 2-line TN LCD is designed for clear visibility at a desk. To help maintain the longevity of the keypad, it is useful to keep the device in its slide-on cover when stored in a backpack to prevent dust from entering the keybed. This model is a straightforward tool for those who need a reliable device without the complexity or cost of graphing features.
If you prefer a model with a "natural" display that shows fractions more clearly, the Casio fx-300ES Plus is a popular choice.
