The Dana Center's Quantitative Reasoning (QR) course is a college-level course designed for students who are focused on developing quantitative reasoning skills meaningful to their professional, civic, and personal lives. Optional corequisite support materials are available and are aligned with each of the activities of the QR course.

Quantitative reasoning is a habit of mind-seeking pattern and order when faced with unfamiliar contexts. This course uses collaborative learning techniques to help students recognize the need for data-driven decision making, and brings to light the dangers inherent in basing decisions solely on anecdotal evidence. Mathematical concepts include numeracy, mathematical modeling, basic statistical reasoning, and analysis of complex information using graphical strategies. Communicating about mathematics is emphasized throughout.
