National Numeracy Day – 22nd May 2024
There is still time for ELC settings, primary schools and organisations that work with young children, to join sign up for National Numeracy Day. By signing up they can find free, fun and engaging resources, including videos and worksheets from their celebrity ambassadors and Delivery Partners. Together, help children bake, dance and rap their way to number confidence this May. There’s plenty for adults too, with resources covering numeracy for work, money management and supporting children. National Numeracy Day Live is taking place at 9:30am. National Numeracy ambassadors Bobby Seagull, Katya Jones and Jessica Gagen will be joined by CBeebies Numberblocks and The Royal Astronomical Society for 30 minutes of space-themed number fun, where children across the country can kickstart National Numeracy Day wherever they are. Don’t forgot to promote their Number Heroes Competition – open to children aged 3 to 13 across the UK, with six prize bundles worth over £1,000 each. Aimed at sparking imaginations and conversations by asking children to draw a picture of themselves in their dream job or hobby, explaining all the different ways they’d use numbers and maths: https://www.nationalnumeracy.org.uk/number-heroes-competition.
