It’s been a while since I’ve done an update on my progress. On Tuesday, I sat the first assessment for the core maths 3 course I’m doing in preparation for the access course next year. It went fine, I got one wrong but hey a pass is a pass.
Whilst I was at the college I spoke to the maths course tutor and we agreed that it would be a good idea to do core maths 4 in March which would lead on nicely to intermediate 2 which is the level of maths required on the access course.
I also spoke to the access course tutor and we agreed that it would also be beneficial for me to find a post as a learning assistant or volunteer as a parent helper in a primary school. I’m considering both options but as we are also considering moving house at the moment I’ve put that on hold for a bit.
All-in-all it’s going well and I now have to get on with the next unit, which I think is geometry.

I hate math. The other day I was looking at 8th grade math problems and it brought back bad memories. Ever since I started working I don’t recall ever using factions or anything like that at work.
I have to say that it’s certainly not my favourite subject, I prefer dealing with words and theories than with numbers.
