Multiply

What is Multiply?

Multiply is a new government-funded programme to help adults improve their numeracy skills.

Good numeracy skills may unlock job opportunities and lead to higher wages or prepare for further study. They also help in everyday life, such as helping children with homework and budgeting money.

Multiply contributes to the Skills Mission for the United Kingdom which has never been more critical as we recover from the effects of the worst pandemic in over a century.​

There are existing courses available to adults aged 19+ who do not already have a GCSE at grade 4/C (or equivalent) in maths.

Reviews

“Noel delivered a comprehensive CPD programme of Bag of Number to our cohort of Support Staff with professionalism and dynamism. His real-world and contextual experience he added to the content engaged our staff team and made their learning more impactful in the classrooms they have returned to. Participants of the course feel they have a meaningful knowledge and skillset to work with in their professional roles alongside the efficacy gained for their own individual benefit.”

Year 4 parent: I would like to thank you and the team for the Bag of number course, that was very helpful to guide my children .

Year 1 parent: This Bag of Number course was brilliant. It really has helped me know the different ways I can support my child in Y1 and onwards. The resources are really helpful too. 

Noel was great. Friendly, knowledgeable and really helpful. Thank you for organising this course.
