National Numeracy Day
The Money Edition
Join in and build confidence with numbers
It's the Money Edition
For the first time National Numeracy Day has a theme. For 2025 we talked about Money, and this is why...
Our new research shows that almost a third (32%) of UK adults seeking to improve their maths and numeracy skills say it's to better manage their money. This goes even higher for parents of young children, and young people. We also know from talking to learners how crippling it can be for our finances to lack confidence with numbers.
Resources and activities
Start building your own number confidence or get access to lots of fun activities for children:
Number Heroes Competition
Kids can create a picture of their dream job or hobby and tell us how it uses numbers. Get their imagination running wild to be in with a chance to win a fantastic prize for themselves and an incredible prize bundle for their nursery, school or youth group!

The competition is now closed! Winners will be contacted on or before 1 July 2025, and runners-up on or before 9 July 2025.
