In #MathsToday (this week) it's been Maclaurin series with Year 13 FM, quadratics with Year 12, and upper and lower bounds with Year 9. A couple of ✨new✨ practice strips made and added to the site - truncating numbers and using bounds to find a suitable degree of accuracy. #UKMathsChat #ALevelMaths
