HALF of UK adults?! That's a lot of people! 🔢

Here’s our Head of Data and Impact (aka The Duke of Data), Paul Foss, explaining how we get this figure.

We’ll post some tables in the comments so you can see what all the different levels mean!

🎉 5 years ago, we launched the National Numeracy Leadership Council: the UK's first leadership coalition for numeracy.

Since then, members have shaped policy, given evidence to the House of Lords, and tackled the gender gap in number confidence 💪

@Bobby_Seagull @TTRockStars Looking sharp Bobby!

[National Numeracy @Nat_Numeracy]

All the best to everyone who’s getting their exam results today.🤞

Whatever your results, this doesn’t have to define you.

Our ambassador @Bobby_Seagull knows his stuff when it comes to learning maths, and he’s spot on here.

[National Numeracy @Nat_Numeracy]

We asked how you found maths at school. You told us about tears, blank minds, and teachers who wrote off your potential.

Maths anxiety is incredibly common. But maths ability can grow at any age, regardless of past experiences.
