The Group

SIGMAA QL is the Special Interest Group of the MAA which focuses on Quantitative Literacy (QL). SIGMAA QL aims to provide a structure within the mathematics community to identify the prerequisite mathematical skills for quantitative literacy (QL) and find innovative ways of developing and implementing QL curricula. We also intend to assist colleagues in other disciplines to infuse appropriate QL experiences into their courses and hope to stimulate the general national dialogue concerning QL.

Wiki:

leads to a collaborative web site that you can use as a forum to discuss QL. You do not need to be a member of SIGMAA QL to collaborate. If people contribute to the wiki, it can become a very productive site (honest).

The photos in the right sidebar are randomly chosen from a collection of photos involving QL activities. If you have a photo you want to add to the collection, or you want a photo removed, or you want to provide the name of someone in a photo, email the Web Master. You can also submit photos in either orientation, only tall thin photos end up in the sidebar. There are plans for a more general photo gallery which will use any size of photo.
