Get confident with Maths - In this course, you will cover a variety of topics related to numbers and their applications in real life. We will begin by reviewing basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division using both traditional and alternative methods.

We will then explore fractions, decimals and percentages and how they are used in everyday life. You will also learn about finding area and perimeter, as well as special numbers such as square roots and powers.

By the end of this course, you should have a good understanding of how to use numbers in practical ways. This course will increase your confidence and allow progression onto functional skills maths.
