Almost half of adults in England (49%) have entry-level maths skills – at best the level of maths you would be expected to have by age 11. To help more people improve their maths skills, a new initiative – Maths4Us – starts today with over 20 national organisations coming together to take strategic action on adult maths.
As part of a major new numeracy initiative in 2013 – Action on Adult Maths - NIACE is conducting a search for the top maths apps and app developers to create a database of resources which can help adults improve their maths skills.
We’re looking for your help next Monday in shaping the future of numeracy education.
