A Tarsia activity on 7 and 8 Times Tables. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning. For more ideas on how to use these types of activities (including twists!) and to download the latest version of the wonderful free software to open this resource (and create your own), just click on the web-link. If you have any comments, or spot any (non deliberate!) mistakes, please share them below. Many thanks to all the teachers who have helped me assemble these Tarsias over the years.
Have a play around with this task, and please share any questions, extensions, simplifications, modifications, or lines of inquiry in the comment box below. The idea is to collect loads of suggestions that can then be used for effective differentiation. The full set of these tasks, along with additional notes, can be found here: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/richtasks.htm
A brilliant Tarsia activity by Gill Hillitt on trigonometric identities for Core 3.

This is a rich Venn Diagram activity on Quadratic Graphs, including intercepts and factorising.
To access all the Venn Diagram activities in this collection, as well as teaching notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/venn.htm
Here is why I love Venn Diagram activities so much:
1) Students can always make a start. If they can think of a number/expression/object or whatever it might be, it has to go in one of the regions on the diagram, so they are up and running
2) The more regions student find, the more challenging the task gets, which adds a nice element of differentiation
3) They are incredibly versatile, and can be used for almost all maths topics for all ages and abilities
4) They are easy to tweak by simply changing one of the circle labels if you find they are too difficult/easy
5) Students can create their own as an extension task
I hope you and your students enjoy them.
A tutorial video from the Autograph team on Terminal Velocity to teach at Post 16. The drag acting on a falling object increases as it accelerates. The terminal velocity is achieved when the drag is equal to the force due to gravity, so the net force is zero. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.
a set of cards for you to cut up and give to the students. they must then decide whether the cards are true or false. would be great to then show and discuss the solutions using Autograph
A brilliant Tarsia activity by Gill Hillitt on finding the intercepts of straight line graphs. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning.

A video tutorial on how to use autograph for reflections. A special treat from the Autograph guru Douglas Butler who shows us some really nice things you can do with reflection on Autograph, including looking at the beauty of nature and the talent of the Red Arrows pilots.
