A video tutorial on reflections and rotations in 3D at KS3 / GCSE. The 36th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. Your students have mastered reflections and rotations in 2D, they are getting a bit cocky, they are thinking maths is easy. Well, let's see how they cope with another dimension! Below the video you will find an option to download it and play it on a larger screen, or by clicking on the web-link you can see all the videos in this series.

A Tarsia Jigsaw activity on Solving Equations (x on both sides). These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning. By making adjustments such as removing answers and making deliberate mistakes, they can be made even more challenging and engaging to the students.

This is the video from the 2011 Autograph/TSM Competition winner, Damian Watson. In it he shows us a great way of using Autograph to look at the meaning of the constants in quadratic equations. As a result of his video, Damian has won a place at this year's TSM Conference in Oundle in July. Congratulations! Click on the weblinks for more details of the conference and for more videos.
