A SERIES of open day events are set to take place across Ceredigion in April to encourage people to explore free training and learning opportunities that can help gain numeracy confidence and maths skills.
From budgeting the weekly shop, to helping kids with homework, or taking a step up at work, there are many reasons you might wish to improve your maths. The Multiply programme delivered by Coleg Sir Gar and Coleg Ceredigion exists to help you develop the confidence and the skills to reach your goals.

- Increase confidence with numbers,
- Improve money management,
- Gain confidence helping children with their homework,
- Build skills for employment and career progression.
In addition to giving the chance to meet and chat with Multiply’s team over a cup of coffee and a piece of cake, the open days are a chance to take part in interactive workshops designed to make mathematics fun. Events held within the school Easter holidays will also provide children’s entertainment that all the family can enjoy.
