Bobby W.: If you are studying or working extensively with fractions, this calculator is about the best choice from what's currently available.
It has a nice sized display, and fractions are shown as they actually appear in textbooks.
Yes, other calculators from Casio and Texas instruments, etc. can do the same thing, but the fx-55 Plus has a clean, colorful keypad, and there's a row of keys (in green) specifically dedicated to working with fractions, so if someone is learning the ropes with fractions, it's less intimidating than more versatile calculators.
The other thing I like about this calculator (and most Casio LCD calculators) is that it's easy to adjust the display contrast.
So if fractions are your main bag, this calculator is worth the investment. :)

Oliver: Easy to use. Screen is easy to read. My 7th grader uses it in his math class. We lucked out with this one. And it has a cover so it doesn’t accidentally turn on in his backpack.

Iron Belly: I purchased this calculator because I wanted one to figure fractions for sewing pattern drafting/grading purposes. There is an outstanding fraction calculator available free on-line, but I wanted one that I could move around with and did not require a computer to function. So, after looking around I settled on this one based on the fact that it said it would calculate fractions, and the price was fair. The shipping was quick.

The calculator does require you to 'set it up' to perform the function you desire it to do for you. In this case, reduced fractions. I would say the instruction booklet left a bit to be desired, but the calculator keys were intuitive, so it was fairly simply to fill in the gaps left by the 'instructions.' After about 15 minutes of playing with it, I found the combination I wanted and reduced fractions were being displayed on the screen. The data strokes required to get the numbers into the calculator is minimal and easy to remember, the display is clean, crisp and easy to read.

Bottom line - if you want a nice sized calculator, easy to read display and somewhat intuitive data entry, this Casio will do the job just fine. I am very pleased with...
