Whether you dedicate a day or an hour to being a maths maverick, the NSPCC have a range of activities for schools, new for 2018. Schools can register for a pack including:
- digital resources you can use in class
- fundraising tips and ideas to help pupils and teachers raise money
- maths activities for children of all ages
- printed posters to promote your event
- access to teacher resources to keep children safe from harm, supporting your school's safeguarding.
LGfL have a range of resources that can complement your teaching of Number Day or why not use some of them to turn it into a Number week.
- j2e Tool suite - has a range of maths tools that can be used in class. Why not get your students to use Tt Blast to see who can complete the most games and earn the most points on that day? Or use j2Vote to find out what their favourite number is? j2data and j2measure can also be used during the day to look at measuring distances from school e.g. how many places are with 5cm or 10 cm on a map from school?

- Maths Search and Rescue - can be used on the day to give a real live context to maths. Search & Rescue is extensively mapped to the National Curriculum and includes detailed lesson plans and resources to enable pupils to apply their skills in context, solving problems for themselves.
