What is Quantitative Reasoning (QR), and why is it important for us to teach QR? QR is associated with the mathematics we need for decision making in our personal, professional, and public lives. The presenter will discuss implementation ideas and best practices for creating a new quantitative reasoning course that develops the fundamental quantitative literacy crucial for informed citizenship. He'll also discuss teaching using spreadsheets, even without a computer classroom. And he’ll explore some of the cutting edge functionality built into his new digital course, Thinking Quantitatively, which allows for a flipped classroom experience centered on inquiry based learning.
