I have a challenge for you that fits in really nicely with Number Confidence Week. Have a think about your favourite hobby and how it might use maths.
For me, I love drawing and painting. I didn't think about maths being involved, but there's lots involved! When drawing or painting, you're mixing colours with the right ratios, choosing the right size canvasses or frames, estimating how much paint you need, and also understanding proportions. There are lots of ways that we use numbers when doing our favourite hobbies.
What's your favourite hobby and how does it use maths?

Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤

I love reading. I suppose in terms of maths, I always count how many pages are left before the next chapter to see whether or not I can push another chapter before going to sleep haha.
