🎉 Happy #NationalNumeracyDay! Quick challenge: what’s a 5% increase on £9? 🤔 According to @Nat_Numeracy, around half of UK adults would struggle with this question - something an 11-year-old primary school child would be expected to solve 📊 I once told my pupils after appearing on Netflix’s dating show #IndianMatchmaking: “I wasn’t born being able to do maths. I definitely wasn’t born being able to date.” 😅 (I think I'm better at dating now mind you!) Maths is a skill - not a talent you’re simply born with. Confidence with numbers can be built step by step. 💡 Want to test your skills or improve your confidence?
