Help build financial confidence
LifeSkills and National Numeracy have partnered to help young people, adults and families to learn how number confidence leads to financial confidence.
We have dedicated resources which can be used to support everyone to grow their confidence to use numbers in daily life, from hobbies to managing money.
Wheel of Numbers
The National Numeracy and LifeSkills Wheel of Numbers live assembly took place on Wednesday 5th November. Our on demand recording is now available and takes approximately 30 minutes.
Aimed at 7–11-year-olds, the Wheel of numbers helps pupils see all the ways numbers are important in our everyday lives. Play along as EduTuber and BAFTA award winning presenter, Maddie Moate, hosts Barclays UK Chief Exec, Vim Maru, and National Numeracy Ambassador, Rotimi Merriman-Johnson (aka Mr MoneyJar) with the help of pupils, as they work out number challenges.
