Numeracy Day 'Dress up' 2024

14th Oct 2024

On Wednesday 16th October 2024, we will be holding our 2nd Numeracy Day as part of ‘Maths Week Ireland’ following the success of 2023's event. This will again provide an opportunity to celebrate Mathematics and boost motivation and interest in the subject.

We are asking for pupils to come to school on this date, dressed as someone ‘Numeracy related.’ This might include dressing up as someone who uses Numeracy in their job, such as a shop assistant, builder, teacher etc. Another option is to come in a Numeracy-themed costume, such as a sporting kit with numbers on it, a specially designed t-shirt with numbers. There are lots of different possibilities!

On Numeracy Day, each class will have a visiting speaker. This person will talk about how they use Numeracy in their job. Each class will also have a lesson focusing on practical skills in Numeracy.

We are looking forward to celebrating all things Numeracy on this date!

Mr. McCullough

Numeracy Coordinator
