Maths At Sixes and Sevens: How to Understand Numbers and Make Maths

Rachel Riley is Countdown's queen of maths, and the star has announced that she will be releasing a new book to help adults with the subject. The communities, individuals and workplaces that National Numeracy has supported over the past 10 years have shown that it IS possible to change your mindset about maths with the help of these resources. We can help turn that “I can’t,” into an “I can!" She links the subject with music, writing: “Maths, like music, is a truly universal language — so, once you learn it, you can read anything written in it, no matter the origin of the person who wrote it”. I wondered then, given that musicians say everyone can be taught to sing, whether Riley believed everyone could “get” maths. She laughs, but responds: “In the same way that not everyone who learns to carry a tune is going to be Pavarotti, not everyone [with maths] is going to be Stephen Hawking. But everyone can make progress from the position in which they started”.Lewis, Tim (12 October 2014). "Rachel Riley: 'Stop saying that girls aren't as good at maths' ". The Guardian (Australian edition) . Retrieved 4 October 2022. Just the same, she says, she really enjoyed the process of doing the book and is now thinking about what might be her next project —perhaps maths again, but this time for children and teenagers. In August 2016, it was announced that Riley had joined Sky Sports to present Friday Night Football alongside her former Countdown co-presenter Jeff Stelling, and Fantasy Football Club with Max Rushden and Paul Merson. [15] She left Friday Night Football in 2017. [16] Personal life [ edit ] Now that Corbyn is no longer leader of the Labour Party, did Riley think the war against antisemitism was over? She smiles. “There’s always going to be antisemitism, and sadly we are seeing a rise in it. For my part, I didn’t want an antisemitic government and there was a huge sigh of relief on 13 December 2019 [the day after the General Election] when the British public rejected the Labour Party under Corbyn. I had my daughter two days later; I think Keir Starmer has some really good people around him whom I met on the way, proper Labour people opposed to Labour antisemitism. I do feel it’s less my fight now, and more theirs in terms of salvaging the party”.

At Sixes and Sevens: How to Understand Numbers and Make Maths

An engaging, accessible introduction into how numbers work and why we shouldn’t be afraid of them, from maths expert Rachel Riley. Rachel Annabelle Riley MBE (born 11 January 1986) is a British television presenter. [1] [2] She co-presents the Channel 4 daytime puzzle show Countdown and its comedy spin-off 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. She is a mathematics graduate. Maths, maintains Riley, has almost infinite applications — from time travel for astronauts, to helping people to decorate their house by calculating the numbers of tiles or rolls of wallpaper. And, with a final grin, she wishes me “Shabbat shalom” and admits that “all the bad puns in At Sixes and Sevens are my own.” Eames, Tom (24 June 2013). "Ryan Giggs to appear on 'Countdown' ". Digital Spy. Archived from the original on 27 June 2013 . Retrieved 7 August 2022.

Of course, solving a numbers game in just 30 seconds isn’t easy – which has led some to ask whether Rachel ever has to seek help when it comes to getting the correct answers. Some, not all, of the explanations are a bit long-winded and had me rereading them and scratching my head.
