Upper and lower bounds: Error intervals
In this lesson, we will learn how to write error intervals using inequality notation. We will explore the concept of error intervals and learn the correct notation for these cases.

4 lessons
Upper and lower bounds: Adding and subtracting
In this lesson, we will learn how to add and subtract numbers that each have upper and lower bounds. We will explore what the maximum and minimum values of our calculations will be when considering these bounds.
Upper and lower bounds: Multiplying and dividing
In this lesson, we will be multiplying and dividing numbers that each have upper and lower bounds. We will explore what the maximum and minimum values of our calculations will be when considering these bounds.
Upper and lower bounds: Application of skills
In this lesson, we will be applying a variety of strategies learnt in the previous lessons to help us solve upper and lower bound problems. We will be modelling problems that involve finding error intervals and boundaries.
