Our Vision: Numeracy for all.

Amidst a world awash in data and numbers–where the ability and disposition to engage with quantitative information matters for well-being, work, and democracy–the National Numeracy Network strives to promote and sustain conversation about numeracy across all levels and disciplines. The two primary pillars of our organization are our annual meeting, which is held at various venues every fall, and the Numeracy journal, which is an open-access outlet for scholarship centered on numeracy, published by the Library of the University of South Florida. We also offer virtual programming throughout the year, a listserv for connecting with folks in the organization, and professional development and guidance upon request.

We invite you to join our organization and be a part of the conversation!

Our Mission

The National Numeracy Network (NNN) is a non-profit professional organization that supports numeracy: reasoning with quantitative information in everyday life. The NNN promotes multidisciplinary collaboration and advocates for equitable education that integrates quantitative skills and habits of mind within and across disciplines, at the K-12 level, in higher education, and among the general public. In recognition of the importance of supporting a citizenry with the capacity for quantitative literacy for well being, work, and democracy, the Network strives to keep quantitative literacy at the forefront of national and international conversations about educational priorities.
