Quantitative Reasoning: A Powerful Math Class
Quantitative Reasoning: A Powerful Math Class
Embedded Files
It has always been an essential element for individuals to have the capacity to perform arithmetic and algebraic functions. However, in today's ever-growing global and technological society, doing calculations is not enough. An individual's capacity to identify and understand quantitative situations, reason quantitatively, and communicate about the role mathematics plays in the world is essential. Quantitative reasoning is more than just a watered-down, arithmetic skills, euphemism for statistics class; it is a habit of mind and fundamental to language literacy.
College Course: A strong emphasis should be placed on critical thinking, mathematical modeling, and technology. The majority of the course must include topics from general concepts of functions. Projects, group work, reading, and writing should be included.

This course builds on Algebra I to explore mathematical topics and relationships. Emphasis will be placed on applying modeling as the process of choosing and using appropriate mathematics and statistics to analyze, to better understand, and to improve mathematical understanding in real-world situations. Students will represent and process their reasoning and conclusions numerically, graphically, symbolically, and verbally. Quantitative Reasoning will help students develop conceptual understanding by supporting them in making connections between concepts and applying previously learned material to new contexts. Throughout the course, students will be expected to use technology, including graphing calculators, computers, or data-gathering tools.
