They will have the opportunity to explore the existing activities and develop additional activities using either Excel or the graphing calculator. We will also discuss pedagogy issues surrounding such quantitative reasoning courses. The goal of this workshop is to help participants develop their own quantitative reasoning courses and activities and give them a collection of topics and activities that will help them educate students who will be responsible, informed citizens and who will never again ask “What is this good for?” http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070603 Bill Briggs from CU Denver will be the keynote speaker. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070428 Creating Balance in an Unjust World: Conference on Math Education and Social Justice http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070427 We are pleased to invite you to attend and/or present at the National Numeracy Network's 2007 meeting held in collaboration with SIGMAA QL. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070404 Workshop designed to help interdisciplinary groups of teachers to make the mathematical or quantitative dimensions of his/her discipline more explicit. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070112 The panelists will respond to questions about calculus, liberal arts, and quantitative literacy from their variuos perspectives in the presentations and in response to the audience's questions. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070107 The annual meeting of the SIGMAA. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070106a This panel will take a closer look at how very different institutions have used a cross-disciplinary approach to teach QL. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070106 In this minicourse, participants will explore a wide range of spreadsheet modules centered on quantitative literacy concepts and skills. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20070105 A social reception will be held at Mathfest 2006 in Knoxville, TN. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20060810a A panel discussion involving SIGMAA QL, NNN and MAC3 will be held at Mathfest 2006 in Knoxville, TN. http://www.monsterworks.com/sigmaaql/news.php#event-20060810 The 2006 Summer Institute will feature workshops given by experienced MAC3 faculty from Edmonds Community College, Seattle Central Community College, Miami Dade College, and other colleges.
