Number Day is celebrated on the first Friday in February, with the next occurrence on February 6, 2026. This event, initiated by the NSPCC in 1999, aims to foster a love for mathematics among children while raising funds for the charity. Activities typically include math competitions, dress-up days where children wear costumes related to numbers, and community events that incorporate math challenges. Schools and organizations across the UK participate by hosting events that make learning math enjoyable and engaging. The day encourages creative approaches to numbers, helping to alleviate math anxiety and promote positive attitudes towards mathematics. Participants are also encouraged to use resources from the NSPCC website to enhance their celebrations.
