Number Partners is a programme to promote the importance of numeracy and the development of mental calculation skills. We assist children in Bromley schools by offering them number partnerships with supportive adults from the local and business community.
The focus of Number Partners is to make maths ‘fun’ and build confidence by using specially designed games and activities.
Children respond positively to regular sessions and both partners gain from the relationship.

Make maths fun and you can make a difference
Do you:
- want to make a difference to a child’s life;
- have 1 or 2 hours a week to give during school term time;
- want to help a primary school child, who lacks confidence in maths, learn to enjoy the subject and develop new skills;
- want to share in our vision to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to learn, and help to secure a better future for children who find maths difficult?
Then you should become a volunteer number partner.
You do not need to be Einstein, a mathematician or have a qualification in maths to participate in the programme. Enthusiasm and commitment are much more important attributes.
Full training is provided for all volunteers.
