Hello Maths, Apologies for a very late Friday bulletin. I started wrapping Christmas presents, and it took a lot longer than I had expected. Next year I'm only buying cuboid shaped presents (I'm sure I say that every year).

Negative numbers was one of the topics that … Continue reading Friday Bulletin 7/10/16
