West Sussex Council is reminding people about National Numeracy Day giving them a chance to improve their Maths skills.
For schools and organisations signing up there are free digital toolkits bursting with assets and guides to putting on a fantastic National Numeracy Day in classrooms or communities.
The biggest ever national programme for schools and children will offer range of fun activities to inspire number positivity, including National Numeracy Day’s fifth birthday party packs and ideas to an expanded Number Heroes Competition after its success last year.
Sam Sims, chief executive of National Numeracy said: “National Numeracy Day 2022 is shaping up to be the most exciting and inspiring event we have held to date. With the support of our fantastic partners, we are aiming to get more people in the UK than ever before feeling good about numbers and taking action to improve both their confidence and skill.
A huge 49% of the UK’s working-age population has the expected numeracy levels of a primary school child and poor numeracy costs the UK economy £25 billion a year. Struggling with numbers can make people more vulnerable to debt, unemployment, poor health and fraud – all of which have been exacerbated by the Covid-19 crisis and now, the cost-of-living crisis. That’s why National Numeracy is so important and why getting involved can help people up and down the country.”
