It’s National Numeracy Day 2021! We’re delighted to be a lead sponsor, celebrating everyday maths and raising awareness of the importance of numeracy in all of our day to day lives. We’ve been working together with National Numeracy since early 2019 to improve financial inclusion in the UK. Our goal is to give people the confidence to tackle numeracy, so they have the skills to make informed decisions with their finances. In 2020, and working alongside National Numeracy, Twinkl (the world’s largest education hub), the F2 Freestylers and Rio Ferdinand, we launched free online football-themed maths challenges which have been downloaded more than 119,000 times. Take a look at live events happening this #NationalNumeracyDay:
