Project Maths Student CD

Hello folks,

I hope you have had a chance at some point to look at the project maths website. As I was saying last year there is a Student CD online and some activity books have been added this year. You can access them at the following link:

Remember that Stands 1 and 2 are all you need to look at (the remaining strands are for examination in 2013 and 2014 so don't affect you).

See you all tomorrow
