Autograph is the signature software for secondary mathematics

education. It incorporates the 3 main principles in the teaching and

learning of Mathematics: Flexibility-Reversibility-

Generalization. Autograph enables students with less vision to

follow the talk, deepen and excite them further. The teacher

will be motivated to promote mathematical thoughts by asking

students to write out what they see on screen. It will help both

teacher and student to see the connections between visual

representations and symbolic ones. The discourse that follows would

create the environment for the correct vocabulary to be used, and

for concepts to be internalized. Autograph can be used for the

learning and teaching of Transformations, Graphs, Trigonometry,

Statistics, and 3-D activities and the author believe that if

correctly used it is bound to excite secondary students in their

study of Mathematics.
