Multiply is a fully funded program to help support you, your family and community become more confident with maths and numeracy. You may not realise how much we use maths in our day to day lives. Whether that is looking for the best price in the supermarket, using graphs or spreadsheets at work, supporting your child with their homework, or measuring materials for crafts or DIY. Some of us take these everyday skills for granted. Our workshops can help give you the confidence you need to improve your everyday life.
