It is a quantita- tive reasoning course focusing on thought processes involved when investigating situations described by measurements. Three threads define the curriculum: 1) Numeracy. Students will develop and use concepts of numeracy to investigate and explain quantitative relationships and solve problems in a variety of real world contexts. 2) Mathematical Modeling. Students will make decisions by analyzing mathematical models, including situations in which the student must rec- ognize and/or make assumptions. 3) Probability and Statistics. Students will use the language and structure of statistics and probability to investigate, represent, make decisions, and draw conclusions from real-world contexts. The classroom is designed to be an active learning experience supported by student communica- tion.
