This article argues that the role of data skills in geography goes beyond measurement, analysis and the rote learning of statistical tests to embedding data into the heart of geographical curricula. It draws on materials produced for the RGS-IBG Data Skills in Geography Programme, which were presented at the Geographical Association's Annual Conference in 2017. It describes how the twin pillars of statistical and disciplinary knowledge provide the means to tell geographic stories with data and to assess the credibility of the stories told. It also argues that the skill of reasoning with numeric evidence is a tool for inclusivity and helps to challenge the propagation of misinformation.
