Calculator for maths!

Our son starts secondary school September. When the older boys started (a long time ago) the school sold calculators which you could buy when they had an open evening so most of the kids had the same one. I guess this made it easier as the buttons would all be in same place etc. They've stopped doing this now so I know he needs one but will any do or does someone have a recommendation? I don't think he needs an all singing all dancing one just one that will do the syn/cos/tan thing?

I got this for my DC. Apparently they need the complicated bits for GCSE so it's probably better to buy this than get a simple one for y7-9 and a complicated one later.

That’s the one our school recommends/requires from Y7 too.

Ours didn't need a calculator until the final term of Y7, and the teacher made recommendations then.

Surely the school will recommend one?Schools will sell direct to students as well so they they all have similar

I assumed this too as this was what happened with older ones when they went there. We bought them at an open event for new students so most of the kids had the same. For some crazy reason they don't do this now just tell you that you need to buy one
