Numeracy isn’t just about solving equations in a maths class, it’s a vital skill that impacts everyday life. From managing finances and making informed choices to understanding data in the news, good numeracy skills equip students with the confidence to navigate the world around them.
National Numeracy Day next month, is a fantastic opportunity to highlight the real-world importance of numbers and encourage students to see maths as more than just fractions and percentages. By promoting a positive attitude towards numeracy, we can help young people build the essential skills they need for future careers, financial wellbeing, and day to day decision-making.
To support learning around this topic, we have put together an interactive site featuring three escape room-style levels. These editable games and activities focus on money, budgeting, and spending. The resources provide a more stimulating way for students to see how numeracy applies to their lives beyond the classroom. Teachers can easily tailor these tools and share them with their classes, ensuring that learning about finances is both accessible and enjoyable and not something to be afraid of.
To request the site please just...
Let’s celebrate National Numeracy Day by empowering students with the confidence to use numbers in all aspects of life. Numeracy is a skill for life, not just for maths class!
