Increasing student engagement in maths lessons

What is the most cost-effective and time-saving way of increasing student engagement within maths lessons?

That question involves two vital concepts: getting the students more engaged without your having to spend ever more time and money in doing so. 

The answer, I firmly believe, is to make maths ever more graphic, while at the same time using a system that is as near to intuitive as possible, and which allows work that has been prepared, to be shared constantly with all the students to whom it is relevant. 

And there is the question of using photos and images as backgrounds in order to bring STEM topics to life. You might well want to import a sports or architectural photo, fit a curve and find its equation. 

In fact you might well want to bring in any data, and analyse statistics with ease, and visualise maths concepts and models in 2D and 3D. 

There’s lots of software out there, but nothing until now which ticks all those boxes, and which every maths teacher in your school can learn to use within the hour. 

Better still, it works on interactive whiteboards, PCs, Macs, and is controllable by tablets and iPads. 

All your graphic activities and explorations can be utilised by students anywhere – this year, next year, and the year after. Licences are permanent – there’s no future cost. 

It’s a lot to ask, but there is software that does all this. It is the very latest edition of Autograph, complete with its expanded and improved image handling, dynamic geometry and exportation to dynamic web pages.
