North Yorkshire: Adult Learning - Activities with Multiply

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

It offers the freedom to make numbers fun again and to support people with everyday skills in an engaging way. Most of the maths, in the workshops listed, is hidden in the enjoyable activities we incorporate into the sessions. 

This is to demonstrate how we often use maths without even realising that we're doing it!
