Abstract:

The Mathematics Across the Community College Curriculum (MAC3) project is a national dissemination project capitalizing on the work of MAC in Washington and MATC at Dartmouth College. All three efforts are, or have been, funded by the National Science Foundation and support curriculum development and online publication for the integration of mathematics into the undergraduate curriculum. To date, more than 28 disciplines and 20 schools have been involved in the projects. Published curriculum representing the many forms of quantitative literacy strengthening the ability of students to think numerically will be shared, including statistical literacy, number sense, graphical literacy, understanding reasonable quantitative claims, and rates of change. In addition, opportunities for creating or publishing curricula will be presented.
