Math Essentials

One of the challenges of math is that many of us don’t use it every day, so it’s hard to remember what we’ve been taught. This course will cover basic math that we use when we are shopping, doing projects around the house, balancing our checkbooks, or preparing meals. We will use a hands-on approach to learning match concepts so you can confidently use it in your daily life. This class is offered live online or in person; ongoing enrollment.
