A video tutorial on how to explore the NLVM website. The 6th in a new series of videos where each week I visit my favourite mathematics websites. The National Library of Visual Manipulative is a fantastic website crammed full of really impressive little applets. These applets provide interesting and innovative ways for visualising some of the most important concepts in maths. I am a particular fan of the congruent triangles resource and the balance beam for solving linear equations. A lovely website that is certainly worth a visit. Please share how you use the website below.

A few years ago I wrote a set of notes for pupils and put them on my website. The notes were supposed to be written in a pupil-friendly way, and different to notes students might find in textbooks or elsewhere on the internet. I have converted the notes to PowerPoint slides so you can download them, adapt them if needed, use them in revision lessons or perhaps give your students a set to take home with them to help them prepare for exams. The chances are there will be a few mistakes here and there, so if you spot any please email me & I will correct them. Hope they are of use!

A video tutorial from the Autograph team to teach Scatter Diagrams at KS4. It is possible to import a bivariate data set into Autograph but in this activity we are going to see how to create a dataset from points and we will then use that dataset to demonstrate least squared regression.Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

This video tutorial demonstrates how to use autograph for the two tangents theorem at GCSE. The 23rd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In a jam-packed edition of Mr Barton's Autograph Videos we look at all things to do with Tangents, including the Two Tangents Theorem. This also leads us to discover a slick way of marking the intersection of two lines on Autograph and how to measure the length of line segments. 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.

Earliest recommended Year group: Year 8. Simple game that finishes on 1, whatever your starting number. Leads to creating expressions and proof. This is from the “Something in Common” collection of resources by John Burke. They allow consolidation of key skills, prevent students from copying each other (as all the questions are different), make marking and assessing easy for the teacher (as all the answers are the same!), and provide a lovely extra challenge for students as they try to figure out exactly what is going on! To access the full collection, and read John’s background notes, please visit: http://www.mrbartonmaths.com/common.htm

Daniel Rodriguez-Clark kindly shared this Differentiation/Calculus rich activity using my Build an Army format. “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

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 Collective Memory PowerPoint activity on Laws of Indices. This one contains missing answers. Thanks to Joe Ellis for this one!

A tutorial video from the Autograph team on iteration at Post 16 level. Many equations cannot be solved using conventional methods. In such cases we need to use numerical methods to find solutions. Clicking on the web-link below takes you to all the videos in this series.

The 32nd in Mr Barton's Autograph Video tutorial series. In preparation for the next few videos, we take a look at some of the important tools needed for getting the most out of Autograph's unique 3D engine.
