. Did you know that In England only 55% of children get five A to C grade GCSE results, including English and maths.
. A Government-commissioned report has concluded that 47 % of adults have maths skills below the standard expected of a 14-year-old pupil at school. It means their numeracy is so poor they would be unable to pass a GCSE and achieve even the lowest G grade. Meanwhile 16 per cent, around five million, have literacy skills at the same low standards (Source - Daily Mail Feb 2011)
. An eight-year-old boy and his nine year-old sister have both gained A* grades in GCSE maths. The boy said: ''I love doing maths, it's really fun. It was exciting to do the exam and get the results, I just want to keep on doing it.'' He wants to become a mathematician one day but his sister's favourite subject is English and she is keeping her options open for the future (Source Daily Telegraph Jan 2010)
