An engaging, accessible introduction into how numbers work and why we shouldn’t be afraid of them, from maths expert Rachel Riley. In October 2021, Riley published her first book, At Sixes and Sevens: How to Understand Numbers and Make Maths Easy. [55] Filmography [ edit ] Television [ edit ] Year Good numeracy, Riley points out, is linked to “employability, to better earnings”, and poor numeracy often links to “poor health and mental health problems”. So there are any amount of incentives for coming to grips with maths, she says, and perhaps, I think, having spoken to her, it’s the teaching that is at fault, which leads to so many saying that their brains “are not wired” for numbers. Had I had a teacher such as Riley, urging me on from the sidelines, you can do it, you can do it, I am sure I would be better than I am at maths. Walker-Arnott, Ellie (2 September 2013).

She writes: “I’ve never had much use for the poems of Sylvia Plath, but no one ever questioned the English teacher for making us dissect her every word”. What she calls “poor old maths”, however, gets a bum rap, with people “almost wearing it as a badge of honour” that they are mathematically illiterate.a b Media Monkey (24 June 2013).
