Additional Resources
- Discovering the Art of Mathematics website: https://www.artofmathematics.org/
- This website has 11 free downloadable IBL-focused textbooks designed for semester-long courses, and includes a topic index that allows you to look up sections of the textbooks related to specific mathematical topics.
- This resource could be used to design a quantitative reasoning course with engaging topics, such as art, reasoning and proof, and puzzles.
- Jo Boaler's youcubed.org How to Learn Math course for students: https://www.youcubed.org/online-student-course/
- This is a FREE six lesson course (approximately an hour and a half total). You could assign this course as homework for students enrolled in any quantitative reasoning course (as well as other math courses!).
- There are also two courses for those who teach math: https://www.youcubed.org/online-teacher-courses/
- Reality Math website: http://www.realitymath.org/college-level-units/
- This website has a collection of lessons designed to help students learn more about the world we live in, while at the same time learning about related mathematical ideas.
- Engaging Mathematics initiative website: http://engagingmathematics.ipower.com/teaching-manuals/
- This website contains a collection of teaching manuals (includes lessons and activities) that connect mathematics to the world (e.g., sustainability, global warming, modeling a city).
