Boost your number skills with Multiply

Are you looking to brush up on your numeracy skills? If so, all you need to do is Multiply!

Multiply offers tailored courses targeted towards adults (over 19 years of age) who do not currently have Level 2/GCSE maths at grade 4 (previously known as a C grade). Or for those with a Grade C if they feel they are not working at that level.

People looking to build confidence with basic maths skills, whether that be to help them manage their personal finances or household budget, support their child with homework or get on in the work place, develop or start their own business, can all benefit from the free courses being offered.

Online and face to face modules are available in numerous areas including multiplication, money and calculations, division, fractions and more. Whether you need to support your children in maths or wish to upskill and develop yourself, these courses are available to you for free!

Cllr Laura Mayes, Cabinet Member for Education and Skills said: “Feeling confident with numbers can help us in all areas of life, from being at work wanting to make the most of a current role or looking to progress your career or for knowing where to start when it comes to budgeting and household finances. Our Multiply team offer lots of opportunities to help you understand your current numeracy level and the support that is available in Wiltshire.

“As per our business plan, we are continuing to remove barriers to learning by offering free Multiply courses, supporting residents to improve their confidence and skill with numbers.”

Libraries across Wiltshire have a wide range of maths themed books, eBooks and audiobooks. These cover a range of topics such as money matters, help with sums and maths for beginners, as well as books for children to develop their own maths skills.
