The tenth video in Mr Barton's Autograph tutorial series. This week I deal with a request from Lucius Evans who wanted to look at some of the Statistical functions on Autograph. Here I deal with a request from Lucius Evans who wanted to look at some of the Statistical functions on Autograph. We look at some of the things you can do with Raw Data, including dot plots and box and whisker diagrams. More stats to come next week!

The Futures Channel is a brilliant website which has video clips and lesson plans for what many maths teachers consider to be the Holy Grail... examples of real life maths! The stuff on there already is very good, and new content seems to be being added all the time. Definitely worth a look!

A Tarsia activity by Alan Catley. A specific topic that traditionally causes problems so lots of past exam questions turned into a Tarsia ‘follow me’ activity.

A video tutorial with a guide for the UKMT website ideal for KS3, GCSE and A Level maths students. The 2nd in a new series of videos where each week I visit my favourite mathematics websites. This week it is the turn of UKMT. It It's the home of the fantastic Maths Challenges and also one of the first places I visit if I want some rich, challenging problems for students of all ages and abilities. And what about the twist they put on Fizz Buzz?... classic! Please share how you use the website below.

A video tutorial on how to use Wolfram Alpha. The 4th in a new series of videos where each week I visit my favourite mathematics websites. There are few search engines that can rival Google, but for a mathematician, Wolfram Alpha certainly comes close. It is incredibly powerful and incredibly fun too. Are Craigs more popular than Kates and how often are people talking about mathematics? Wolfram Alpha has the answer. Please share how you use the website below.

A GCSE and A Level tutorial video on how to use Autograph to teach the Binomial Distribution. The instructions and guide is very clear. The 41st in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In this video we continue our look at statistics and probability by seeing how Autograph can be used to introduce the concept of the binomial distribution. We look at the classic example of tossing a coin to create dot plots and box and whisker diagrams, and then we introduce a nice little twist...

A Video Tutorial on using Autographs for parallel and perpendicular lines at KS3/KS4. The 26th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we follow-up our work on straight lines with a look at how you might tackle the topics of parallel and perpendicular lines on Autograph. 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 21st in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we look at our third Circle Theorem - the classic Angles in the Same Segment Theorem. There is also a quick demonstration of how to set up a nice looking label for points, and a twist that you might want to try on your students.

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 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 the volume and surface area of cylinders (this is a tough one!). 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

“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
