Quantitative Reasoning

About This Badge

How long will it take to save up for a new phone? Is affordable housing distributed fairly? Math helps us answer questions like these and reason effectively in a variety of real-world situations, including designing a building, interpreting survey results, or comparing costs of credit card offers. In M100 Quantitative Reasoning, you will make sense of and solve real-world problems by strategically using tools like proportionality and percentages, geometric measurement, and data displays. Using technology as an aid for calculations, you will reason about quantities in different units and use formulas to solve problems. Quantitative reasoning is a critical tool that can lead to more sophisticated modeling with functions and geometry. It is also the bedrock of the mathematics of our daily lives and widely applicable to nearly every professional field.
