A PowerPoint with Revision notes on factorising in algebra at KS3/KS4. A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams.

The 20th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In a special edition of Mr Barton's Autograph Videos we look at the use of Autograph's very impressive Animation function and how you might use it in the context of angles, points and transformations. 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. In this activity we explain how to enter equations and introduce Slow Plot, the Scribble Tool and the Constant Controller. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

A great tutorial explaining how to use autograph to investigate straight line graphs. It is very clear and has lots of ideas as to how to use this software in class. The 25th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. Here we look at two different approaches to investigating the equations of straight lines on Autograph, both of which make good use of Autograph's excellent dynamic textboxes, and one which uses the Constant Controller.

The 28th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. Seeing as we are now experts with straight line graphs, this week we look at how we can use Autograph to study Scatter Diagrams, Lines of Best Fit and Correlations. 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 tutorial from the Autograph team to teach Scatter Diagrams at KS4. It is possible to import a bivariate data set into Autograph but in this activity we are going to see how to create a dataset from points and we will then use that dataset to demonstrate least squared regression.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 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

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use autograph for the two tangents theorem at GCSE. The 23rd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In a jam-packed edition of Mr Barton's Autograph Videos we look at all things to do with Tangents, including the Two Tangents Theorem. This also leads us to discover a slick way of marking the intersection of two lines on Autograph and how to measure the length of line segments. 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.

The 19th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we look at our second Circle Theorem - this classic Cyclic Quadrilateral Theorem. After quickly constructing and demonstrating the theorem, we also have a look at a nice little extension question involving parallelograms...

A PowerPoint with great revision notes on how to solve single brackets in algebra. A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams.

The chances are there will be a few mistakes here and there, so if you spot any please email me & I will correct them. Hope they are of use!

A tutorial on how to use the Normal Distribution in Autograph. Douglas Butler, the Autograph creator, looks at a really interesting way of how we can fit a normal distribution to data using Autograph. To see all the videos in Mr Barton’s Autograph Video series, just click on the web-link below.

This a rich, Arithmagon activity on Dividing Fractions. I love Arithmagons as they allow consolidation of key topics when going Forwards, and then opportunities for extension, creativity and discovery when working Backwards. They are also really easy to modify to suit the particular needs of your class. For all the Arithmagon activities in this series, together with teaching notes and extra information, please visit http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/arithmagon.htm

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.

“Build an Army” is a fun, strategy game that can be used to consolidate understanding of key mathematical concepts. After students have played the game and described their strategy, there are opportunities for differentiation via various lines of inquiry and probing questions for the students to investigate. Full instructions are provided in the “General Rules” PowerPoint. To find more Build an Army activities, just visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/buildanarmy.htm
