Using ICT in Maths. How many lines of symmetry does a cube have? The 35th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. We make good use out of our cube again this week, this time by taking a look at the surprisingly tricky question of: 'how many planes of symmetry does a cube have?'. Autograph's 3D mode provides a lovely way of displaying the answer. Oh, and for the record, I got this question wrong! 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 8th in Mr Barton's Gapminder World Video series. What percentage of males aged 15 to 64 are employed in countries across the world? What regions have the highest levels of employment? Is it to do with wealth or tradition? How about if we look at females aged 15 to 64? Lots of questions that need answering by Gapminder World!

This is a practice just to see if Tarsia jigsaws can now successfully be uploaded to TES.If this works (I have my fingers crossed!), then stay tuned for hundreds of the best Tarsias coming to TES over the next few weeks and months. Oh, and in case you haven't spotted it, this Tarsia is on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing!

The 33rd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we learn how to construct a 2x2x2 cube in Autograph, which will come in very handy when we come to look at Pythagoras in 3D, Planes of Symmetry and Vectors in the next few weeks. There is also a nice little link to Euler's famous formula.
