Each Second Chance Maths course runs for between 8 and 10 hours. No previous knowledge of maths beyond Grade 6 (Standard
4) is expected or required. The activities will be designed to maximise your engagement. Class size is usually between 12
and 25 people.
The aim is to get you to realise that you do have skills and abilities that you can use, and that there is no need for
you to run away and hide! We will also work on seeing what mathematics really is, rather than the stuff you had to memorise
at school. The content covered will be geometric in essence, since we will be re-connecting with our ability to visualise,
but algebraic in practice as we will be aiming to capture the big picture.
