@elliesleightholm: Have you spotted this mathematical pattern? Happy Number Confidence Week! 🎉 This campaign is all about showing that confidence often comes before skills, not the other way around, and helping people build the self-belief to develop stronger maths skills. That’s why I’m so excited to continue this series exploring the mathematics hiding in plain sight. Today, we’re looking at catenary curves! The beautiful mathematical shapes formed when a chain or cable hangs freely under its own weight. From everyday objects to extraordinary architecture, these curves are a reminder that mathematics isn't just something we learn in a classroom. It's something we can discover all around us. Because sometimes, building confidence in maths starts with simply being curious about the world around you. 💛 @National Numeracy
