National Numeracy's Maths MoT for the Nation: Brits Called to Find out how Their Skills Measure up in 'Checktember'

The National Numeracy Challenge is a free online service created by National Numeracy to help people understand their current numeracy level and then provide tailored support for any areas they need to improve. It's all about the maths needed in daily life and at work – not algebra or trigonometry. Anyone can take the National Numeracy Challenge at any time and return to the learning resources to practise and improve as often as they like. It takes between thirty minutes and an hour to complete the assessment. A score 80 or more on the skills assessment generates a digital badge and certificate to show that the Essentials of Numeracy have been achieved; the everyday maths equivalent of a "4" at GCSE.
