Count On
Count On is a major mathematics education project in the United Kingdom which was announced by education secretary David Blunkett at the end of 2000. It was the follow-on to Maths Year 2000 which was the UK's contribution to UNICEF's World Mathematical Year.
Count On had two main strands:
- The website www.counton.org which won the 2002 BETT prize for best free online learning resource.
- "MathFests", which were maths funfairs held around the country, aimed particularly at those who would not normally come into contact with mathematical ideas.
