Autor

About our author Eric Gaze is a well-known leader in the quantitative reasoning community. After experiences teaching a liberal arts math course and an Excel course early in his career, Eric began to think about giving students a truly meaningful experience in math. He also came to see that spreadsheets were a powerful way to engage in real-world problem solving while learning mathematical concepts. Excited to discover a group of like-minded educators talking about “Quantitative Reasoning,” he began seriously working out a framework for a new course based around both proportional reasoning and Excel. Eric directs the Quantitative Reasoning (QR) program at Bowdoin College, is past Chair of the Center for Learning and Teaching, and is a Senior Lecturer in the Mathematics Department. He served as President of the National Numeracy Network for 3 terms (NNN 2013-2019) and is a former chair of SIGMAA-QL (2010-12). He is an Associate Editor for the Numeracy journal, and writes a blog on using articles in QR courses. Eric gives talks and leads workshops on the topics of QR Across the Curriculum, Creating a QR Entry Point Course, Writing with Numbers, QR Assessment, and Running a QR Program; he continues to serve on review teams of QR programs and oversight boards for NSF-funded grant projects. He was the Principal Investigator for an NSF TUES Type I grant (2012-14), Quantitative Literacy and Reasoning Assessment (QLRA) DUE 1140562. This collaborative project builds on Bowdoin College's QR instrument, which is used for advising purposes and is available to interested schools. Prior to coming to Bowdoin, Eric led the development of a Masters in Numeracy program for K-12 teachers (the first of its kind in the country) at Alfred University as an Associate Professor of Mathematics and Education.
