Host_Ryan - One Show team | 17:11 UK time, Wednesday, 4 March 2009

It's been that the British are uniquely happy to admit to being bad at maths.

On tonight's show Angellica Bell told us about maths in "real-life". Mathematical law is abundant in nature, but us Brits just don't seem to be so keen on studying it in the classroom.

One statistic is: Despite the government spending £5 billion in the last decade to improve education, 75% of all English adults wouldn't get a C at maths GCSE.
