Abstract

This research paper analyzes on how will the grade 11 STEM students mastered

an Fx-350Ms scientific calculator. The first scientific calculator was created by Hewlett-

Packard on February 1, 1972. This electronic device, available in desktop or handheld

forms, performs both basic and complex calculations, replacing slide rules and

mathematical tables. It is used in educational and professional environments and allows

users to switch between degrees, radians, and grads. Additionally, it includes

mathematical constants such as Pi and Euler’s constant, and supports exponents,

logarithms, and scientific notation, making it ideal for engineering problem-solving. It

objectifies a descriptive literature review targeting the effectiveness of mastering an fx-

350ms Scientific Calculator on grade 11 students. To answer the how to master an Fx-

350ms Scientific Calculator the researcher uses a survey questionnaire with 16 questions

to answer and observe the results if it is effective to master an fx-350ms scientific

calculator. The study discovers that most of the Grade 11 STEM students got 60% upon

knowing the scientific calculator and how to operate its unfamiliar keys, for operating the

scientific calculator most of them got 33% which means by neutrally difficult to operate a

scientific calculator, for the challenges they encountered most of them got 38% because

of an insufficient time that allows them to submit the paper not on time. Research

concludes that mastering an fx-350ms does save you time, helps you submit your papers

quickly, and won’t be disturbing others.

Keywords: Scientific Calculator, Mastering, Problem solving, effectiveness, operating a scientific
