Autograph

This package is an extremely practical, easy to use and useful mathematical tool and is an essential part of any Maths teacher's kit. It enables the student to gain deeper insight into some otherwise quite challenging Mathematics. The product is very versatile and should be introduced to pupils at Key Stage 3 – they can then go on to use it at GCSE and A-Level. Autograph has a much greater range of Curriculum applications than many other dynamic plotting programs.

The product is a very versatile, easy to use Mathematics tool that enables the student to gain deeper insight into some otherwise quite challenging Mathematics. It is a piece of software that the pupil should be introduced to at Key Stage 3 and that would then be able to utilise it to assist with GCSE and A-Level coursework. Although it takes a little while to master, the investment in my opinion, was more than paid off by the increased motivation and understanding of my students. Unlike other dynamic plotting programs I have used, Autograph has a much greater range of Curriculum applications. It also provides a ready facility for investigating statistical graphs and probability distributions.

Autograph is a flexible tool designed to support teaching and learning in Graphs and Statistics. It is a massive piece of software with applications across all areas of Mathematics at all Key Stages. It would be easy for teachers to be fooled by its apparent complexity into thinking it is only appropriate for more able GCSE students and Sixth-formers. Pupils of all ages and abilities can, after a short period of initial training from the teacher, access Autograph because of its clever use of toolbars and drop-down menus. Autograph is supported by valuable Help pages and the publisher's website. It is an excellent package for all schools.
