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.

Whole Class activity. Involves collecting, representing and and comparing data. Set of resources from my good friend Mr Quinn all about the use of Frequecy Analysis to crack codes.

This is a domino activity and an accompanying PowerPoint useful for introducing or revising the topic of linear equations in graphs. The dominoes activity involves matching up straight lines to co-ordinates that lie on them. The PowerPoint investigates straight line graphs. This resource is ideal for KS3 and KS4 students.

a crossword activity involving questions on repeat percentages, compound interest, etc
