Today is: 
Numeracy Day
Something from the Brits today for a change - Numeracy Day.
KPMG and National Numeracy started National Numeracy Day together in 2018.
National Numeracy Day has been celebrated in the United Kingdom every year since 2018. It’s about recognising the large part that numbers play in our lives. People are encouraged to try and build confidence in their numeracy skills, even if they’re not maths-orientated people.
This day is celebrated to try and show that you don’t have to be super smart to love numeracy, everyone can learn how to be better with numbers.
Numeracy Day tries to highlight how much numbers are used in our lives, every day. This can range from the sports people watch, the books that people read and in the shops when using money. Not everyone’s great with numbers or interested in numeracy, but that doesn’t have to stop you getting involved with them, especially on Numeracy Day.
Supporters, educators, individuals and employers are all encouraged to take part in Numeracy Day. There are lots of numeracy day activities that you can do. Plus, it’s not just about improving your own numeracy skills, it’s about helping other people improve theirs too.
Numeracy Day was created to try and make people of all ages explore and be more curious about numbers.
A brilliant way to celebrate is by recognising the way numbers are part of our lives. Here are a few uses of numbers that we have in our daily lives:
- Money: Whether you’re buying vegetables or sweets, money plays a big part in everyone’s lives.
- Weight: If you’re weighing yourself or fruit in the supermarket, it’s impossible to avoid numbers.
- Television: Numbers are all over our TV’s, this can be from the channel number or even when you’re changing the volume.
- Phone numbers: It might seem a bit old-school to be remembering phone numbers, but they’re still important. They pop up whenever you need to phone a company or service, or when you’re ordering a delicious pizza.
- Cooking: Speaking of food, if you’re baking or cooking you’ve got to work with numbers.
There are so many different ways that we use numbers in our daily lives. You don’t have to be a maths genius to use numbers either. As long as you’re celebrating numeracy at any level, you’re taking part in National Numeracy Day.
Once you’ve checked the temperature, calculated the distance to travel, and factored in the amount of time you need to get through your day, I hope it all adds up to a great Wednesday, my Dudes!
