Confidence to use numbers helps everyone to be more successful at work, to manage our lives and to support our children at school. This annual campaign , run by National Numeracy, aims to make sure that everyone feels comfortable with everyday maths. 

49% of adults have the numeracy skills expected of a primary school child. Feeling that we “don’t get” numbers or that we’re no good at maths can mean we avoid them, which only makes matters worse. Low confidence with numbers can hold us back, affect our wellbeing and have an impact on how our children feel about maths too. Number Confidence Week exists to help us take steps towards numbers instead of running away from them. But doing so is only possible in a safe, supportive space. National Numeracy has created free online resources that can be accessed by anyone, at any time.
