Improve your numeracy life skills with Multiply.
Maths is used throughout our day-to-day lives, even though it doesn’t feel like it. Things like cooking, working out the right time to leave for work, shopping, paying bills – all of these things involve numbers.
Our delivery partners run events and courses to help with all of these tasks. They’ll improve your numeracy life skills, which will make all the difference to your daily tasks, as well as save you time and money.
We know that many people find maths hard, and the thought of doing any maths related activities is extremely off-putting. Some people have conditions that make maths even more challenging, including maths anxiety and dyscalculia.
Maths anxiety (or a fear of maths) can have a huge impact on your numeracy life skills. Many adults suffer with maths anxiety, and it can cause them to feel stressed or panicked. Sometimes people have physical reactions, like an increased heart rate, shaking, sweating and/or crying when they’re presented with a situation that involves maths.
Maths anxiety is very real, and it can lead to people actively avoiding things that involve numbers, both at home and at work. You might find yourself avoiding things like helping your children with their homework, working out your household bills or refusing to apply for certain jobs.
Dyscalculia is a common condition that makes it hard for people to do tasks that involve maths. As an adult with dyscalculia, you might find some everyday tasks difficult, such as cooking, shopping, or getting to appointments on time. Dyscalculia can’t be outgrown, but we can help you to manage your daily challenges and improve your numeracy life skills.
Maths anxiety and dyscalculia may have held you back in many ways throughout your life. However, we’ll help you to build up your confidence with numbers and improve your numeracy life skills, to help you with your daily challenges.
Our support will help you improve your numeracy life skills without triggering the maths switch. We’ve put together a dedicated team of people who have the right skills and experience to help you.
Some of our team members have had their own difficulties with maths. In fact, Lois, our Multiply Development Manager, didn’t get a maths GCSE at school. However, she later went on to face this challenge and worked hard to get her qualification. Lois then went on to use what she’d learnt to teach maths to others.
“Others like me need the correct support and teaching methods to achieve their maths qualifications. I got there, and now I use my experience to support those like me.”
We’ve made sure that our fun, practical maths classes are focussed around things people are interested in. We have fantasy football courses, Italian food courses, mocktail making courses, wildflower courses and so much more. Each class is interactive and fun, which is always the best way to learn. Your numeracy life skills will improve a lot, without you even realising it.

Our Multiply activities are designed to help you with day to day things. Our delivery partners have put together a fantastic set of activities and courses to help you improve your numeracy life skills. You won’t even realise you’re learning.
Perfect for those who haven’t been in education for a while, The Progression Award is a stepping stone to a GCSE-level course. You’ll work in a group of 6 learners, practising your maths skills in everyday contexts. At the end of the 6-week course, the evidence of your learning will be submitted to achieve a Progression Award at Entry Level 3.
You can access The Progression Award via local delivery partners in your area, after developing your confidence and numeracy life skills via their fun practical maths classes.
We work with a range of delivery partners throughout York and North Yorkshire, who provide fun practical maths courses, Progression Award support, and open events across your local area, at things like family festivals, race days, fun runs and more, to enable you to improve your numeracy life skills in a fun way, while taking part with others across your local community.

Absolutely nothing. We provide online learning via our app, fun practical maths classes, courses, and events, and you can pick and choose between these to do as much (or as little) as you like. There’s no ongoing commitment or expectation. Give it a try and see how you get on.
At Multiply we’re all about relaxed learning, so we don’t offer official qualifications. However, if you decide that you do want to work towards a maths GCSE, we’ll help you to develop your foundational adult numeracy skills first. After this we can put you in touch with North Yorkshire Adult Learning and York Learning who’ll help you to get your qualification.
Your daily life can be vastly improved by developing your numeracy life skills. With us, you’ll take part in activities that help you with your day to day tasks – this can help to save you money, or make your money go further. With the cost of living crisis, improving how you handle numbers and your budget is crucial for so many people.
Start your Multiply journey with us today – you won’t look back.
