#MathsToday I had a beautiful one off day. Year 12s don't start till next week, I'd normally have yr12 lessons 1-4, finishing off with yr8 lesson 5. So the noise cancelling headphones went on and I got my head round loads of #COREMaths admin. Satisfying. Ending with % decimal multipliers with year 8
