Overview
Are you 19+ and get anxious when it comes to Maths?
You’re not alone 57% of the working age adult population in England are in the same boat!
Three in 10 people say they are not a “numbers person”.
It’s our aim to change that.
Multiply offers easy access to free numeracy courses and initiatives that can help you brush up your maths skills and help you become more confident with numbers. Whether you need help in managing your bills, budgeting or you want to improve your potential at work.
Check your Numeracy Level
Our short quiz will help you to understand where you might want to brush up on your numbers.
There are 6 multiple-choice numeracy questions, it will take around 5 minutes to complete and you may use a calculator if you wish. The quiz will also help explain how to get to the correct answer.
Our courses are divided into sections to make them as adaptable as possible, with the goal of focusing on the areas where you need the most assistance.
Whether it’s figuring out weights and measures to help you cook, basic computer skills (including arithmetic), improving your ability to help your children with schoolwork, starting your own business, managing your bills and budgeting or preparing for GCSE. Everything is covered in our classes.
Help your children with Maths homework, understand your bills or improve your skills at work.
Multiply is for those who:
- Are aged 19+ and do not already have a GCSE at grade C (or equivalent) in maths
- Suffer with number anxiety
- Struggle to help their children with Maths homework
- Want to increase their skills at work
