Welcome

Welcome to a series of free online activities that I have written
on a variety of topics using Autograph .
You do not need to have Autograph installed to use
these activities, you just need to download the free
Autograph Player (full instructions contained within the activities).
This means that pupils can use them freely at home, and teachers can
use them on their interactive whiteboards or in computer rooms at
school.
I will be adding more of these activities as the weeks roll on, so
keep checking back for more
For my series of short videos about making the most out of Autograph,

Reflection
Golf
Can you use your knowledge of reflections to get the shapes into
the holes?
Rotation
Golf
Now can you use your knowledge of rotations to get the shapes
into the holes?
Enlargement
Golf
Finally, can you use your knowledge of enlargements to get the
shapes into the holes?
Vector
Man
Can you use translations to put poor Vector Man back together
again?
Which
Transformation?
Three mystery transformations have take place. Can you figure
out what they are?
Transformation
Challenge!
Are you ready for the ultimate challenge in transformations? There's
only one way to prove it!
Vector
Challenge!
Vectors a and b have been used in some way to create 6 new vectors.
Your job is to find out how!
Transfomring
Matrices
Let's investigate what happens when we transforming shapes by
2x2 matrices
Line
Symmetry in Rectangles
How many lines of symmetry does a rectangle have?
Line
Symmetry in Quadrilaterals
Use this activity to investigate the number of lines of symmetry
in different quadrilaterals
How
Big is the Angle?
Are you an Angle Estimating Genius? Now is your chance to prove
it!
Make
the Angle
Given three Target Angles, can you make them? How far off were
you?
Angle
Facts
A chance to investigate all the angle facts you could ever want
to know, all on one lovely page
Angle
at the Centre
Here we take a look at this first of the circle theorems
Angles
in the Same Segment
Now we turn our attention to angles in the same segment
Cyclic
Quadrilateral
What is the relationship between angles in a cyclic quadrilateral?
Tangents
Here we investigate two interesting features about tangents and
circles
Alternate
Segment
Finally, it is the turn of the most difficult circle theorem
Circle
Through 3 Points
Here we investigate how it is possible to draw a circle through
any three points
Practice
Finding Sides
Use this activity to practice finding the length of sides using
sin, cos and tan
Practice
Finding Angles
Use this activity to practice finding the sizes of angles of sides
using sin, cos and tan
Pythagoras
Use this activity to practice finding the length of the missing
side using Pythagoras Theorem
Pythagoras
in 3D - 1
What information do we need to work out the length of the diagonal
line?
Pythagoras
in 3D - 2
Does this extra line help at all?
Pythagoras
in 3D - 3
Now, how about working out the length of this diagonal line?
Pythagoras
in 3D - 4
The toughest challenge yet - can you work out the length of this
diagonal line?
Perpendicular
Bisector
Why does the construction of the perpendicular bisector work?
Angle
Bisector
Why does the construction of the angle bisector work?
Constructing
Triangles Practice
Use this activity to test the accuracy of any triangles you construct
on paper
Construct
an Equilateral Triangle
How does this activity demonstrate how to construct an equilateral
triangle?
Co-ordinates and Lines Back

Battleships
1
Can you use your knowledge of co-ordinates and straight line graphs
to sink more ships than your opponent?
Battleships
2
The ships have returned, but this time they are in trickier positions.
Can you still sink them?
Battleships
3
In one final attempt to survive your missiles, the ships have
again scattered. Hunt them down!
Straight Line Graphs (y = mx + c) Back
to Top
The
Equation of Straight Line Graphs
What do lines with similar equations have in common?
The
Gradient of Straight Lines
How do we work out the gradient of a straight line, and how does
this gradient change as the line changes?
Perpendicular
Lines
What is the relationship between the gradients of perpendicular
lines?
Simultaneous
Equations
Linking together graphical and algebraic solutions to simultaneous
equations
Sketching
Quadratics 1
What information do we need to be able to sketch y = x2
- 4?
Sketching
Quadratics 2
Now, how about sketching y = x2 + 2x - 8?
Sketching
Quadratics 3
Life is getting tricky now as we turn our attention to y = x2
- 4x - 2
Sketching
Quadratics 4
How about the toughest challenge yet - can you sketch y = 2x2
- 8x - 10?
Transformation of Functions Back
to Top
Transforming
Functions 1: y = f(x + c) + d
We begin by investigating translations up, down, right and left
Transforming
Functions 2: y = af(x)
Next up we take a look at some stretches in the y-axis
Transforming
Functions 3: y = f(bx)
This is a difficult one - stretches in the x-axis
Transforming
Functions 4: y = af(bx + c) + d
The Ultimate Challenge: we finish by putting all our transformation
of functions together
The
Trapezium Rule
What happens when you increase the number of strips?
Scatter
Diagrams - Line of Best Fit
How is the line of best fit affected by changes in the data?
Cumulative
Frequency Diagrams
Can we compare cumulative frequency diagrams, and what happens
as the data changes?
Box
and Whisker Plots
Now, can we compare box and whisker diagrams, and how to the diagrams
change as the data changes?
Cumulative
Frequency and Box & Whisker Together!
Let's put our two favourite diagrams together and see what happens!
Histograms
We can use this activity page to compare and investigate histograms
Leap-Frog
Puzzle
Try this lovely little puzzle out with a pencil, paper and a ruler
first!
Pizza
Cutting
What is the most number of pieces you can cut a pizza up into?
Quadrilateral
Puzzle
What's special about the midpoints of this quadrilateral?
