Math Confidence for Six Sigma

You want a Six Sigma belt, and the Six Sigma math worries you. Maybe it’s been twenty years since your last algebra class. Maybe numbers never felt like your thing.

You’re not alone. It’s one of the most common things people tell me before they start studying. And most Six Sigma math is more approachable than it looks.

So I’m building a short course for exactly this. It’s called Math Confidence for Six Sigma.

How it works. You start with a short diagnostic. It shows which skills you already have and which ones need work. Then you take only the lessons you need. If you already know a topic, you skip it.

What it covers.

• Numbers with units, conversions and honest rounding
• Percentages, ratios and rates
• Formulas and basic algebra: substitute, solve, rearrange, check
• Squares, square roots and the symbols in statistics formulas
• Reading tables and graphs without being fooled
• Kinds of data and the summaries each one allows
• Population and sample, and probability without the fear
• Units, defects, defectives and opportunities
• Money math for projects: cost, savings, payback and ROI
• Correlation versus cause, and Google Sheets basics

Why it helps. Every lesson ties the math to real Six Sigma work. The examples use the kind of data you see on projects: wait times, defect counts, costs and savings. You learn the math by using it the way a belt does.

When. The course is coming this fall. Join the waitlist below and I’ll email you when it opens.
