At Earl Shilton Building Society, we know that understanding how numbers work in practice is key to making confident financial decisions, from managing everyday money to building long-term savings.
That’s why in celebration of this year’s World Maths Day (25th March), we’re sharing a quick financial puzzle that puts everyday intuition to the test. Let us know what you’d pick below!
World Maths Day was launched in 2007 to encourage enthusiasm for maths while improving numeracy skills worldwide. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest global educational events, promoting a shared enjoyment of learning for a variety of audiences.
