Tier 1: Confidence-Building & Foundations

Multiply-aligned Entry Pathway

✅ Overview

Tier 1 is the starting point of the Kutambua Numeracy Journey. It focuses on helping adults feel more confident with numbers by tackling maths anxiety and showing how maths is part of everyday life. Instead of jumping straight into complicated calculations, learners are guided through a supportive and culturally relevant process that makes numeracy feel approachable and useful.

What makes Tier 1 special?

• Friendly, informal learning
• Culturally familiar examples and stories
• Group support and confidence-building activities
• Designed for people who’ve said:
  “I was never good at maths,” or “Maths makes me nervous.”

This tier acts as a bridge from fear or avoidance of maths to future skills and qualifications.
