The 62nd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. A common misconception amongst students (and myself, actually!) is that a rectangle has 4 lines of symmetry. In this video we look at how we can use Autograph to illustrate this concept in a simple, effective way and thus dispel the myth once and for all. Along the way we look at hiding objects and parallel lines. Clicking on the web-link you can see all the videos in this series.

In Web Whizz Video 16 we looked at the outstanding Number Loving Blog. Well, not content with conquering the world of blogging, Sharon and Laura have put together an accompanying resources website, and what a website it is! You won’t find many boring PowerPoints and worksheets. Oh no, on Number Loving you will come across mysteries, collective memories, treasure hunts, top trumps, and much, much more. Here we look at 5 resources just to give you a flavour of what this amazing website has to offer.

The 61st in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. I was surprised that one of my Year 13 students wasn’t aware of the lovely fact that you can draw a circle through any 3 points, so long as those 3 points do not lie on a straight line. After an example with compasses and a ruler failed to convince him, I turned to Autograph, and this is the result! Clicking on the web-link you can see all the videos in this series.

Data and Statistics are still burdened with the unfortunate reputation of being rather dull topics in maths. This I highly unfair, and there are few more important and relevant mathematical topics to the lives of students and the word around them. Previously we have looked at websites which can help bring statistics to life, and My Life in Numbers deserves to sit alongside those. Just wait until you see your students’ reaction to the number of heartbeats Justin Bieber has had, and how David Beckham’s earnings tick by quicker than the passing seconds.

An Autograph Player activity where students use their knowledge of straight line graphs to sink some co-ordinate battleships. You can use this activity on the interactive whiteboard, or for your students to investigate on their own.

UPDATE: Supporting worksheet by Brian Arnold! :-) The 60th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In this video we take a look at an activity I like to use with my classes called Co-ordinate Battleships. I use this either to revise the equations of straight line graphs or even to introduce the topic. Teams take it in turn to launch their missiles (in the form of straight line graphs) in order to sink the ships (the co-ordinates). We look at how you can easily create this page on Autograph, and then some possible extension work after the sea battles are over.
