- Confidence with everyday numbers turns pressure into fun, on and off the oche 🎯
00:00 - Numbers aren’t just in classrooms. They’re in songs, shapes and the first steps of family life. At Babyzone, we saw everyday numbers in action.
00:00 - We’re pleased to confirm our leadership team: Lizzie Gaisman, Chief Executive Officer, and Bodil Isaksen, Chief Programmes Officer. Our mission is to transform lives, by numbers. Welcome, Lizzie and Bodil 👋
- We’re grateful to @thetimes for supporting us through Rishi’s new weekly column. All proceeds from the column will be donated to our charity, helping us grow our work boosting confidence with everyday numbers across the UK, in classrooms, workplaces and homes.My column in today's @thetimes looks at the biggest mistake Rachel Reeves made in her first Budget, why it matters, and why tax rises are not the answer 👇 thetimes.com/business-money…
- Can't make sense of a number? Try making it concrete 👇 So: 🤑 0.75 = 75p (think money) 🚌 4m = that’s the size of a double decker bus 🥤 300g? A can of soft drink! When you can picture the number, understanding gets easier.
- We welcome all efforts to increase financial education for young people, as today’s curriculum review has recommended. Number Nation, our research work, will explore financial literacy in detail and we’ll look forward to contributing these insights on this important topic soon.
- We've launched Number Nation - the UK’s largest study of attitudes to everyday numbers. Purpose: clear evidence and practical support for families, classrooms and workplaces. Find out more here: richmondproject.org
- Can’t do x25 in your head? Do this 👇 Divide by 4 then multiply by 100 (so add two zeros, if it's any whole number). Example 48x25 becomes 12x100 = 1,200.
- Culture change. That’s what the Richmond Project is about.
00:00 - UK consumers spend over £700 million on Halloween each year. We’re all about turning the numbers that feel scary into everyday skills that feel normal.
- 8% of 25 or 25% of 8? Same answer. Don’t overthink it. Drop your favourite number hack below 👇
- Nearly half of UK adults say they struggle to understand numbers in everyday life. Confidence with numbers shouldn’t be rare. It should be routine.
