Join celebrity guests in celebrating number confidence
Taking place on Wednesday 5 November and broadcast live from a school at 9.30am, the Wheel of Numbers assembly for ages 7-11 will be hosted by none other than EduTuber and BAFTA award-winning presenter, Maddie Moate.
Maddie will be joined by financial content creator and National Numeracy ambassador Rotimi Merriman-Johnson – AKA Mr MoneyJar – and Barclays UK CEO Vim Maru.
Along with pupils, they’ll spin the Wheel of Numbers, uncover props, and tackle fun everyday number challenges covering themes like sport, shopping, hobbies, jobs and home life in this high-energy, interactive game show. There will also be an activity pack for schools, to accompany the assembly.
Sign up to Number Confidence Week for fun, free activities and resources
Following on from the success of National Numeracy Day in May, the event will bring number confidence to life for children across the UK.
Schools signing up to Number Confidence Week will get access to the assembly as well as a digital toolkit filled with number-confidence boosting resources and activities, which are available in Welsh too.
As well as being an exciting interactive event for pupils to join with, the live assembly will:
- Show pupils that numbers are everywhere in their daily lives
- Encourage them to have a go at the challenges, whatever their confidence level
- Celebrate number confidence across the nation
The Wheel of Numbers live assembly is one of many events taking place for Number Confidence Week, whose Headline Supporter is Barclays LifeSkills.
This year’s campaign has the theme of "Money Matters" and will provide plenty of free resources for both children and adults to help them take the first step towards improved numeracy for everyday life.
