You will immediately receive:
- Access to free, helpful resources to start improving your numeracy.
- Schools will get access to loads of free curriculum-linked Family Maths Toolkit resources for use at school or to send home.
Nearer the time, you will receive:
- A toolkit to help you and your community take part.
- Schools will get a toolkit and range of exciting on-demand resources and full supporting material to help them take part.
- You will be the first to know about resources, activities and events for the day.
