Math Essentials

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 an in-person class with ongoing enrollment.
