An excellent tutorial video from Douglas Butler which reveals a simple and highly effective way of demonstrating to students where the least squares regression line comes from. To see all the videos in Mr Barton’s Autograph Video series, just click on the web-link below.

A Tarsia activity on Fractions, Decimals and Percentages. 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.

A video tutorial on how to use Bivariate data in Autograph. This time Douglas Butler takes us through how we can do scatter graphs and lines of best fit on Autograph by looking at an interesting relationship between the weights of babies and the gestation period.

A video from the Autograph team. One of the classic 'goat grazing a field' geometry problems demonstrated. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

A video tutorial from the Autograph team. Ideal to be taught at KS4. Analyse the weights of babies to determine how unusual a given weight is. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

The 9th in a new series of videos where each week I visit my favourite mathematics websites. A controversial one this week as it’s the turn of Khan Academy. This is a website with over 2,600 videos of lessons and worked examples, many of them relating the mathematics. The questions are: do you like them, and if so how can the videos be used effectively for learning? I suggest that maybe some sort of “reverse learning” could be employed, or better still why not record your own video? Please share how you use the website below.

A tutorial video on Poisson & Normal Approximations from the Autograph team. Both the Poisson and Normal distributions can be used as approximations to the Binomial, but for which values of n and p are the approximations any good? Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

The 2nd in Mr Barton’s Gapminder World Video series. Here we look at how the world has developed over the last two hundred years by focusing on the relationship between a country’s life expectancy and the average income of the country’s inhabitants. For the analysis we look specifically on three countries: China, Rwanda and the UK. 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

MEI has kindly shared the following resources to support the use of ICT in A/AS Level maths. These are practical activities that look at how we can use the TI-Nspire (graphical calculator) to enhance the study of sequences, series and trigonometry predominantly at AS level. These are ideal for use in a computer room or for students to investigate at home. The pdf file contains full instructions and challenges, and you can download all the supporting TI files by clicking on the weblink.

A video tutorial exploring torus in Autograph. What do you get when you rotate the equation of a circle about a line in 3D?... there is only one man to tell you the answer to that - Mr Douglas Butler. To see all the videos in Mr Barton’s Autograph Video series, just click on the web-link below.

A brilliant Tarsia activity by Gill Hillitt on algebraic fractions. 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 feedback for Gill, please share them below.

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.

MEI has kindly shared the following resources to support the use of ICT in A/AS Level maths. These are practical activities that look at how we can use Autograph to enhance the study of differentiation and integration (calculus), predominantly at AS level. These are ideal for use in a computer room or for students to investigate at home. The pdf file contains full instructions and challenges, and the attached Autograph and Excel files can be used to demonstrate and consolidate understanding back in the classroom. Please click on the web-link to find out more about the work of MEI.

A tutorial video from the Autograph team on transformations in 3D. Because of the extra dimension transformations are somewhat different in three-dimensions. In this activity we will see what those differences are. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

A tutorial video from the Autograph team on the feature of 'export to webpage'. Share your work with people who don&'t have Autograph installed using the Autograph player . Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

A tutorial video from the Autograph team. A step-by-step guide on how to explore the connection between the angle at the centre of a circle and the angle at any point on the circumference in Autograph. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

The 22nd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we look at our fourth Circle Theorem - the notoriously difficult Alternate Segment Theorem. Can Autograph help us understand when this theorem works and when it doesn't? There is also a look at how to construct tangents and a sneaky way of measuring angles. 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 video from the Autograph team. How can we find the area A under the curve y = f(x) between x = a and x = b? Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.
