A video on how we can use autograph to manipulate continuous data. The thirteenth video in Mr Barton's Autograph tutorial series. In a jam-packed edition we start to look at how Autograph can group raw data for us and how this opens up a whole new set of possibilities in terms of mathematical diagrams, including cumulative frequency curves, histograms and stem and leaf. 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 is an interactive excel worksheet that generates simple bar charts and challenges students to create the pie chart. This activity is ideal for KS3 and KS4 students.

The cards to accompany the above bingo game.

The 38th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In this video we take a look at the second of Autograph&'s wonderful Extras pages - the Monte Carlo Method. We see how this can be used to make an estimate for the value of pi, combining together important aspects of geometry and probability.

A Collective Memory activity on Shape and Space Revision. For more information and ideas about how to use this resource, and links to my full index of Collective Memory resources, please visit http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/collectivememory.htm

An Autograph Player activity to investigate scatter diagrams, lines of best fit and correlation. You can use this activity on the interactive whiteboard, or for your students to investigate on their own. Autograph does not need to be installed to use this activity (so your students can even use it at home), but you will need to install the free Autograph Player add-on (instructions given after clicking the link).

A brilliant Tarsia activity by Gill Hillitt to help with Core 4 Revision. 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 Tarsia activity by Alan Catley. The idea here is to introduce the concept of algebraic partial fraction by first of splitting the fraction 3/28 into its partial fractions but note that there are lots of wrong answers (all ‘feasible’ initially) that have been placed around the edge of the puzzle. Once the correct numerical answer has been found the concept of only the simplest algebraic partial fraction can be introduced. They should then be able to find a few in the puzzle and will hopefully get inquisitive about the other more difficult cases.

A Tarsia activity on Number Sequences. These type of activities can be used to consolidate understanding of a given topic, and foster positive group work and co-operative learning.
