Multiply: Budgeting (14G64ML/24)

What will I learn?

In this funded budgeting session you will identify and discuss the numeracy skills around creating and maintaining a budget. You’ll work with the tutor to put together a personal budget based on your income and outgoings and work out how you could save money on a monthly basis.

We’ll also look at how to use everyday maths, such as reading timetables, comparing costs for travel, and working out how to get the best deal on your weekly shop!

 By the end of the session we will have shown you:

• how to create and maintain a budget
• how to make savings
• how to use the 24 hour clock
• an introdouction to money maths

On completion of the session you will be able to make an informed decision on whether to continue with more learning.

You’ll have 1-1 time with your tutor to discuss your progress and identify opportunities for further development.

What do I need to join the course?

You don’t need anything to join the course, just a willingness to participate in the session.

This course is suitable for learners who do not have a level 2 (GCSE or equivalent ) qualification in Numeracy, or for those who do have this but need to refresh skills and understanding to build confidence to use numbers at that level in life and work.

What do I need to provide for the first session?

You may find it useful to have a notebook and a pen, to make notes.

What could I do next?

When you’ve completed your learning, you will have the opportunity to discuss your next steps with our team.
