National Numeracy

Our Numeracy Champion Leanne has seen first hand how hard it can be for adults to return to education, especially when it comes to maths!

We love to hear how helpful the National Numeracy Challenge is for these learners, and how our Confidence Workshops can help maths anxious adults feel less alone 💜

You can try the Challenge, too! It’s free of charge, and can help you build number confidence over time 🌱

Conversations like these remind us just how connected numbers are to everyday life — from managing finances and schedules to supporting families and making decisions every day.

How do maths and numbers show up in your daily life?

Our Ambassador, Dr Linda Papadopoulos, shares why we need to rethink how we approach numeracy as a community 💙

As comes to a close, the important thing is that the conversation keeps going ✨

Building confidence with numbers doesn’t happen overnight — but together, we can help each other feel more confident, capable and supported 💪

You can still access all of our free resources on the website to use at home, at school or at work 👀

Like the vast majority of people, Leanne hasn’t been formally assessed for dyscalculia — but she believes it may explain some of the difficulties she has experienced with maths.

If maths has always felt especially challenging, there’s a chance dyscalculia could be a factor.

For anyone wanting to learn more, our friends at The Dyscalculia Network offer advice, support and helpful resources for individuals, parents and educators.

No matter your experience with maths or numbers, it is possible to build confidence and sometimes support can begin with a simple conversation 💙
