Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act

The Mathematical and Statistical Modeling Education Act (H.R. 1735) directs the National Science Foundation to provide grants to universities and nonprofit organizations to improve how math and statistics are taught in K-12 schools. These funds would support the development of new teaching materials and professional training focused on data science, computational thinking, and real-world problem-solving. The bill aims to better prepare students—including those in public, private, and home school settings—for careers in modern technical fields by modernizing math curricula to include more practical, data-driven applications.
