About this event

  • 2 hours

Mathematics, often likened to Marmite, draws a clear divide between enthusiasts and skeptics. But fear not! This course is designed for everyone, regardless of where you stand on the love-hate spectrum. Whether you've been petrified of the subject or just mildly anxious, this is your chance to rewrite your relationship with maths.

Join us in a vibrant and inclusive environment where sharing your stories is not only encouraged but celebrated. Let's dive into the depths of your mathematical experiences, unpacking the roots of your fears and discovering hidden potentials along the way.


Who is this for?

Number Natter sessions are for anyone, whatever your level, whatever your experience. We're flipping the script on the age-old stigma surrounding maths, ready to reveal the hidden maths whiz within you. You'll soon realise that you use maths every day and are probably much better at it than you give yourself credit for.

It's time to break free from the fear and loathing!
