Number Day 2011

Friday 2 December 2011

Last year, Number Day smashed the Guinness World Record for the largest maths lesson ever.

Schools told us how much they enjoyed taking part, so this year on Friday 2 December 2011, we want schools across the UK to join us for the Worlds Biggest Maths Lesson. We won’t be attempting to break our own Guinness World Record,  but we are hoping to raise another record breaking amount of money for vulnerable children who need our help.

Register your school now.

Stories from Number Day 2010

"I chose to take part in NSPCC Number Day because it is such a worthwhile cause, for children. The resources were excellent and readymade. It was great to raise the profile of maths for the day and the whole school got involved in inter-school competitions while raising money for charity."
Sarah Imbush, Head of Maths, Southend High School for Girls
