Are you number confident?

What is National Numeracy Day?

It is a day that aims to highlight the importance of numbers and numeracy in our everyday lives. People are encouraged to build on their mathematical skills and increase their confidence in numbers.

Where do we use numbers in our daily lives?

Recognising where we use numbers in our lives is a brilliant way to celebrate. The most obvious way in which we all use numbers is MONEY. Whether you are food shopping, planning a holiday or want to buy a house, money plays a big part.

Importance of good numeracy

Numeracy is an important skill in which everyone needs a good basic understanding to get by in life. Poor numeracy skills can contribute to poor money management and debt.
