Edinburgh City Council‘s Multiply Programme ran a Numeracy in Nature workshop in partnership with Edinburgh Zoo. Learners had a great time finding out a range of interesting things about the natural world using numbers. The session was then capped off with an excellent guided tour of the Penguins and Capybaras.

Since the end of last year, Multiply have been involved with Screen Education Edinburgh who have been filming our groups with the overall aim of putting together a film to show the achievements of the Multiply project and all of our learners.

A few weeks ago we had our film launch at Edinburgh City Chambers and we are now able to share the finished product.
