In particular\, we will explore how to use spreadsheets to enga ge students in QR classes. The ultimate goal for these courses is to prod uce quantitatively literate students capable of actively participating as citizens and workers in the 21st century. QR courses are increasingly bei ng offered as alternative pathways for students seeking a different mathem atical experience from the traditional college algebra route. Spreadsheet s are a powerful means of developing quantitative and algebraic reasoning skills in our students\, providing context rich problems with financial an d statistical applications.\n LOCATION:https://researchseminars.org/talk/ESME/57/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
