Yes!, These workshops are for everyone but we are hoping that they will appeal to those who have struggled more in the past and hope that we help with confidence building.
We will be looking up some information online, and doing some calculations and a smartphone with a browser app (e.g. Chrome or Safari), and a calculator app, will be really useful.
Our aim is to make maths interesting and relevant. You will be using maths everyday in your normal life (shopping, bills, meters, distances, time, etc) and we want to tap into that. We will be using air quality measurements (just numbers) and calculating averages, ranges, then comparing and discussing. We hope it will be interesting from a maths and an environmental point of view AND we hope it will inspire you to learn more (you can progress to a further, free, course if you are).
This course is only funded for residents of Medway. However, the Multiply scheme is available across the country and so you may have similar events where you live. Try looking here:
