We love this #BigNumberNatter at Niche Education in Hull🔢

All jobs need some numeracy, and when we see that in a real-world setting, it can give us motivation we didn’t have at school

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. 💡
