Community courses
Leith Education Community Centre Numeracy Group
Everyday maths - or numeracy - is the kind of thing you might use in tasks such as cooking, paying bills or travelling. Improving your numeracy can help you better understand letters from energy companies, budget for a family holiday, or even land that dream job. Numeracy does not mean complex skills, like algebra, it means being confident enough to use basic maths in real-life situations.
Dates: 18 April to 20 June
Time: 2pm to 4pm
Venue: Leith Education Community Centre, 12a Newkirkgate, EH6 6AD
How to book: Michelle Johnston, Lifelong learning Development Officer, michelle.johnston@ea,edin.sch.uk, 078543 302383
