| Graduate Program : Numeracy |
Numeracy is quantitative literacy, specifically referring to our ability to communicate with numbers. Numeracy can be defined as the enabling skills needed to process quantitative information and the power of mind necessary to critique it, reflect upon it, and apply it in making decisions. Effectively, numeracy is “everyday math”, the numbers we find in tables and charts in the newspaper, the use of percentages in home finance, and the statistics employed in manipulating data for such important policy issues as social security and immigration. Teachers from all levels and all disciplines participating in this program will come to possess the skills, and more importantly the confidence, to introduce relevant quantitative concepts in their own disciplines. Students will then see the transfer and applicability of mathematical content in the context of other disciplines, as well as the relevance to their daily personal and civic lives.
