The 31st in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. This week we take a look at how we can make the study of vectors in 2D more dynamic, which culminates in a suggestion for a nice little starter activity that you can try on your students. 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 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!

A video tutorial on graphing quadratic equations. Ideal for KS3 and GCSE maths lessons. The 43rd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. We are going to be looking at graphing on Autograph for the next few weeks, and what better way to start than by looking at some of the different ways we can represent quadratic equations graphically. This includes tables of values, factorising, completing the square and equations from three points. Clicking on the web-link you can see all the videos in this series.

This is a tutorial video on how to use Autograph to explore iteration. Ideal for A Level Maths students. The 44th in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. Following a request from Mr Howard of Bolton School, this week we look at how Autograph can be used to help students visualise how the iterative process works. We look at three different examples which lead to convergence, divergence, and something rather odd... Clicking on the web-link you can see all the videos in this series.

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
