I came across a really interesting project the other day for anyone in business who would like to share their love of maths with children in school for just a few hours a month.
Number Partners is a volunteering programme designed to support young people in schools across the country with their number and financial literacy skills. Volunteers visit primary or secondary schools to play number games with students, making maths and financial literacy fun, improving their skill with numbers and boosting their confidence.
Evidence indicates that not only do volunteers help in supporting young people’s maths, but are also vitally important in the development of their personal and social skills.
“It’s rewarding to see how giving up a small amount of your time can make a big difference. I was amazed by how excited the children were!”
