Surrey is getting confident with numbers

Surrey CC

Have you ever said: ‘I don’t do maths’? Or maybe: ‘I’m not a numbers person’? 

Lots of people find maths difficult and feel anxious about it, but numbers play a big part in life at home, work and school. Whether it’s making the most of your money, feeling more confident at work, or helping kids with homework, number play a starring role!

That’s why we have teamed up with the charity National Numeracy to offer you the chance to get more number confident by using the National Numeracy Challenge.

It adjusts to the right level for you and shows you, step-by-step how to work things out. You can go at your own pace, where and when ever it suits you, using your mobile, tablet, or PC.

Who we are

We are National Numeracy, a charity set up in 2012 to raise the levels of numeracy in the UK among both adults and children. Our own research and government figures show that around half of adults in the UK have the numeracy expected of primary school children, we want to change this. Our online Challenge is a free, confidential way for adults to test and improve their numeracy.
