Working with the Maths Hub

I have a 2 digit number. The difference between the digits in the ones place and the tens place is 3. Write down all of the two-digit numbers that answer the clue 𝑏 𝑎 2 = 7 18 𝐼𝑓 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑔𝑒𝑟𝑠 𝑓𝑖𝑛𝑑 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑡 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒𝑠 𝑜𝑓 𝑎 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏

Why work with the Hub? It costs nothing It gives schools: Access to a network of schools The ability to apply for funding Opportunities to benefit from best practice and resources

Here is an overview of the projects we have run this year
