Maths is all around us and this lesson provides three progressive activities to help students to build their number confidence with a focus on money and careers.
This lesson has been created in collaboration with National Numeracy, the independent charity whose mission is to empower people to thrive by using numeracy to open up opportunities and access brighter futures, targeting communities where the need is greatest.
By the end of these lessons, students will be able to:
• Understand how everybody uses maths in everyday life including money management and work
• Relate how having a good understanding of maths can help future success
• Know how to talk openly about their feelings towards maths
