We’ll then work together to identify which maths areas are causing you the most headaches and select the right course for you. For example;
Measuring
You need to measure things every day – count money to check your change, keep an eye on the time so you’re not late and by understanding temperature, you can keep your heating bills down! Our measuring courses look at six important areas: money, time, length & distance, weight, capacity and temperature.
Graphs and Charts
Can you find what you’re looking for on a list or timetable? Do you find it hard to understand information on a graph? These courses will teach you how to read and understand information as well as how to make simple charts and graphs yourself.
Fractions
You need to be able to work with part numbers so you can share the bill in a restaurant split the kids into teams at football practice, or work out the cost of something that is half price. These courses will teach you the basics of fractions and decimals.
Shapes and Spaces
Knowing about shapes and space will make everyday tasks such as arranging furniture in a room or packing difficult shapes much easier! This course will help you to solve practical problems and help you to understand 2D and 3D shapes.
