Brush up your everyday maths
A friend has invited you to do this with them.
The National Numeracy Challenge is a free online tool from the UK charity National Numeracy that works on the maths of daily life, at home and at work, in manageable steps. A quick check shows where you stand, and the tool then shows you how to do any question you got wrong.

- Register with your name, email address and a password, then take the quick check.

Where to go
We opened this link on 8 October 2026 and found it to be what we say. Dates, places and prices are on the official page, where they stay up to date.
Plan this
Pick a day, or a month, and we will set out how to get ready, step by step, with a date and a reason for each. Projects run over months and stall without a rhythm, so the plan sets milestones you can see.
