The Casio fx-82ms Emulator: Reviving a Classroom Legend in the Digital Age
Why it is useful:
While the fx-82MS hardware is popular in classrooms, papers often discuss the transition to emulators (software versions displayed on smartboards or tablets). A highly recommended text that covers this territory is often found in conference proceedings of PME (Psychology of Mathematics Education) or MERGA (Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia).
The story of the fx-82MS emulator is also one of nostalgia. Many users seek out emulators to recreate "calculator games" and tricks from their school days, such as writing "I love you" or playing simple logic games like Noughts and Crosses. While the physical device was strictly non-programmable for exam safety, the emulator provides a sandbox for users to relive the era of 10+2 digit displays and plastic keys without needing a fresh AAA battery.
