Looking to refresh your maths and numeracy skills?
Consider attending a discipline-specific numeracy session during Orientation week.
You can also access our maths refresher module worksheets, which cover a range of key topics to help strengthen your numeracy skills and support your studies. You do not need to complete every module, simply choose the areas most relevant to your learning needs.
Each refresher module worksheet can be downloaded or printed for self-paced practice.
Additionally, access the study success toolkit, featuring videos, guides, and lessons for assignments, exams, academic writing, research, and numeracy.

Choosing your recommended refresher modules
If the unit you're studying is not listed below, you can still access the refresher modules or visit the Learning support for additional support.
You can take the Maths Diagnostic Quiz in LMS to determine which skills you need to work on.
Based on your results and the units you are studying, you can select the maths refresher module most relevant to you. While eight (8) refresher modules are available, you are welcome to access only those that support your studies. Recommended refresher modules for specific units are listed below.
