Contemporary scientific calculator has come a long way – without the high profile (or price tag) of CAS technology. Accessible and widely used, newly released models like the Casio fx-8200AU feature exact arithmetic, new ways to move between multiple representations of number, high quality statistical tools and the tabular representation of functions. As the ubiquitous technology in the middle school, these advances present significant pedagogical opportunities. Being web-based, the 8200 emulator broadens what is expected of such tools, connecting the calculative to the graphical with a click. Come to the workshop and see the 8200 and its emulator in action. Pop past the Casio stand beforehand and get the emulator on your web-enabled device.

Key takeaways:
1. Scientific calculators have changed - exact arithmetic, improved statistical tools, working with functions. 
2. Web-based emulators can connect the calculative with the graphical in intuitive ways that support student learning.
