TSM WORKSHOPS - Strand B
WELCOME to the 14th International Residential TSM!
The first TSM day conference at Oundle School was in 1994, and there have
been regular TSM events since then, with the first 3-day residential course in
2002. As well as locations throughout the UK, there have been recent TSM
training events in many countries overseas.
I hope you enjoy this course and derive lasting benefit.
DOUGLAS BUTLER, Director, iCT Training Centre (Oundle)
The iCT Training Centre, Oundle is proud to be one of the
first to be awarded the new NCETM Standard for Continual
Professional Development for mathematics teachers.

P1: Introductory Autograph led by CHRISTINE DICKINSON P2: Introductory Excel
led by SIDNEY TYRRELL
P4: Working with iPads
led by RON LANCASTER
[in CBA 1.078]
[in CBA 1.098]
[in CBA 0.061]
B1: in room CBA 0.061
With TI Nspire, Geogebra, Microsoft Mathematics and, one day, a CAS view in Autograph,
Computer Algebra Systems have a pivotal role to play in mathematics education. This
course will first compare the various systems available and will then focus on the use of
CAS in enhancing understanding when teaching algebra at all levels.
Led by MARTIN WITHINGTON, assisted by Sydney Tyrrell
B2: AUTOGRAPH 3.3 for ages 11-16
in room CBA 0.007
Getting used to dynamic object selection and Autograph’s tools that are designed for
effective teaching and learning, including the slow plot, dynamic constant controller
and scribble tool. Dynamic lessons for key stage 3 and 4. Data handling, 2D and some 3D
topics will be covered.
Led by ALLY STRACHAN, assisated by Richard Wade
B3:
AUTOGRAPH 3.3 for AS/IB
in room CBA 1.078
Statistics: looking at entry of both Raw and Grouped Data; comparing box plots,
cumulative frequency and dot plots; Histograms. 2D: Graphs, functions, numerical
methods, trigonometry; calculus, coordinate geometry; bivariate data; residuals. 3D:
lines, planes, vectors and volumes of revolution. Mechanics: parametric plotting and
vectors, including battleships!
B4:
Led by CHRISTINE DICKINSON, assisted by Ron Lancaster
AUTOGRAPH 3.3 for A2, FM and IB Higher
in room CBA 1.098
This popular and highly-acclaimed course focuses upon ways of incorporating Autograph
in the teaching of topics encountered at the top-end of pre-university mathematics
courses.

TSM WORKSHOPS - Strand A
A1: iPads in the Mathematics Classroom
(Sunday)
in room CBA 0.061
Examine how students can use the iPad to experience mathematics and communicate
their understanding in new ways. Consider the impact that the device can have on the
teaching of mathematics and the resulting benefits for students.
Led by RON LANCASTER, assisted by Mike Wakeford
A2: MODELLING APPLIED MATHEMATICS and Inquiry in room CBA 0.007
This course will concentrate on the use of technology for modelling, investigations and
explorations. • Use of Videos to tie into a carefully designed resource to take the initial
engagement into a more profound and lasting experience. • Modelling using tracker
software, Autograph, Geogebra, Desmos, TiNspire • Big Data Sets will be explored,
• Flipping the classroom
Led by OLIVER BOWLES, assisted by Ally Strachan
A3: GEOGEBRA (Beginners/Intermediate)

TSM and WiFi Registration (Foyer, Chancellor’s Building)
14:15 - 16:00 Further practice from the morning workshops, or
AUTOGRAPH TRAINER WORKSHOP
[in CBA 0.061]
led by the TSM Tutors Delegates attending this also attend the regular TSM program. The award of an
Autograph Trainer Certificate takes place after TSM, after the candidate has run at least
two Autograph workshops with excellent evaluations.

THE MAIN TSM WORKSHOP
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------15:30 TSM and WiFi Registration (Foyer, Chancellor’s Building)
Accommodation: The Oaks
Delegates will get to grips with Geogebra software, discover its many uses and be inspired
to use it in the 11-18 classroom. You will take away lessons to use with your students!
You will learn some basic and more advanced skills: creating geometrical figures, using
sliders and animation to add dynamism, transforming shapes, graphing, transforming
functions and introducing calculus.
16:30-16:40 Welcome Douglas Butler (iCT Training Centre)
16:45-18:30

A5: EXCEL (for teaching Statistics)
in room CBA 1.078
in room CBA 1.098
Excel is a powerful and dynamic tool for investigating and demonstrating mathematics
and basic statistics. This workshop will introduce to those who haven’t met them the
powerful tools of PivotTables and Filters for analysis and will use them to analyse real
data sets.
