Our Mission

Our mission at the NMF is simple: get students active and confident in their learning. Through the collection of student and teacher achievement data, research, and decades of collective teaching experience, we provide professional development and implementation support for educators across the country using a series of kinesthetic educational resources to support the development of positive mathematics attitudes and competencies. Our kinesthetic program is designed to engage learners mentally and physically and supplement your school’s curriculum.

Who We Are

Our vision is to guide communities towards educational empowerment with the assurance that all Americans, regardless of age, race, socio-economic class, and gender are competent and confident in their math abilities and have sufficient skill to be able to use math effectively in their future endeavors. To meet this vision, the NMF spreads educational awareness, provides funding for and distributes engaging kinesthetic learning tools to learning communities, facilitates professional training, and provides ongoing technical support to schools to combat student disengagement and illiteracy with mathematics and reading.
