The project's workshops make mathematical literacy a more welcome and indispensable part of the two-year college curriculum in the United States. A goal is to create a mathematically literate society ensuring a workforce equipped to compete in a technologically advanced global economy. In the workshops, math and non-math faculty across the disciplines create, evaluate and modify projects that incorporate mathematics across disciplines. As a result, community college students throughout the nation are offered opportunities to deepen and reinforce the mathematics they learn in their math classes as well as understand its greater importance and application in their lives. Half-day regional workshops, four-day summer or winter institutes and traveling workshops support faculty, nationwide, in integrating mathematics into their curricula. A website supports a network of two-year college faculty involved and interested in the project and publishes classroom tested material. The project heightens awareness among two-year college faculty of the important role two-year colleges play in creating a numerate society. The project also creates and disseminates exemplary projects and courses that integrate mathematics into all disciplines and offers a support system for community colleges integrating math across the disciplines.

该项目的研讨会使数学素养成为美国两年制大学课程中更受欢迎和不可或缺的一部分。一个目标是创建一个有数学素养的社会，确保拥有一支有能力在技术先进的全球经济中竞争的劳动力。在研讨会上，各学科的数学和非数学教师创建、评估和修改将数学纳入各学科的项目。因此，全国各地的社区大学学生都有机会深化和强化他们在数学课上学到的数学知识，并了解它在他们生活中的更重要和更多的应用。为期半天的地区性研讨会、为期四天的夏季或冬季学院和巡回研讨会支持全国教师将数学纳入他们的课程。一个网站支持参与并对该项目感兴趣的两年制大学教师网络，并发布课堂测试材料。该项目提高了两年制大学教职员工对两年制大学在创建数字社会中所发挥的重要作用的认识。该项目还创建和传播了将数学融入所有学科的示范性项目和课程，并为社区大学提供了一个跨学科整合数学的支持系统。
