Millions of Brits regret not taking maths more seriously at a younger age, a study has found

Millions of Brits regret not taking maths more seriously at a younger age, a study has found.

A poll of 2,000 adults revealed numbers, statistics and keeping on top of financial matters sends many of us into a panic.

And that has left 43 per cent admitting they wish they concentrated more on the subject when they were at school.

Others said they wished finances, numeracy and budgeting had been a bigger part of their life at home and school when they were younger to avoid difficulty later on in life.

Four in 10 of the parents who took part in the study even admitted they avoid helping their children with maths homework because they ‘know’ they will struggle.
