What is Quantitative Reasoning? (Lesson 1)

[@bariatricfood]

Hey Becky, My name is Ken- I just turned 32. I've been avoiding my math requirement which would allow me to graduate college. I really appreciate this video as it put me a little at ease going into the placement exam, You are a great teacher.

[@bariatricfood]

Just a quick update: I took my placement exam, finished both math courses with a B+ and now I’m a college graduate. Thanks for the videos- they were super helpful!

Kenneth Cadieux Congratulations!

[@JustAThought155]

Kenneth Cadieux, I am trying to register for a required degree program seven-week summer course. My option: Quantitative Reasoning. My plight: I am PETRIFIED!!! I am 56 years old and enrolled in a college degree program. Any thoughts concerning the toughness of the course during a concise semester verses a typical full semester? Also, due to COVID, the course will be an Online course rather than in an on campus classroom setting: i.e. face-to-face learning and tutorage via learning labs. Are these factors necessary, in your opinion?

[@bariatricfood]

JustAThought hey! It’s going to be okay I promise- if it’s done through the platform Pearson- the class wont be so bad. It’s actually a great way to learn math in my opinion- it walks you through step by step- why you’re doing what you’re doing- math had never made more sense to me. Fingers crossed- you got this!!!!

[@JustAThought155]

Kenneth Cadieux, Thanks. To be honest, I don’t think it will be through Pearson, which I am familiar with. Instead, my course is at an Ivy League institution.😲! See why I’m a bit nervous???

[@chrism1236]

Good video. Sadly most Math teachers really don't know how to teach math. Just enough students are able to "get it" and move on to bigger and better things while students like me fell by the wayside. And the same thing is repeated year after year. Look at remedial Math enrollments at two year colleges; bad high school math teachers kicking the can down the road.

[@itsDjjayyArt]

True some just cheat

[@samanthamendoza6637]

Yes so true!! I never ever got math, and hated it, and all my HS (math) teachers just passed me along at the bare minimum.

[@McZachary44]

Thanks for the info. The name Quantitative Reasoning sounds more difficult than it appears to be.

[@SimplyFredy]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve avoided math all my life and taking it my last semester at a 2 year college to hopefully go to UVA fall 2023 and this helped a lot. THANK U SO MUCH!

[@charleswilson4598]

My Grand daughter is taking Math 123 over (again) this semester. Except this semester I am doing the work also, so I can help her if she needs it. I am not a whiz at math but I have had algebra, trig, analytic geometry and pre-calculus so I think I have enough background to help her Last year I was confused because Grand Daughter could not define what Quantitative Reasoning was, so it seemed confusing. But this year I looked into what Quantitative Reasoning is and the mystery went away. Now that I see her homework this course seems rather simple so far, not at all complicated. I found the videos and that really opened this course up to me. I kept looking for examples and explanations. Since I don't sit in the class I was not getting the classroom explanations. Then I found the videos. These are the classroom explanations that I was missing and I told my GD not to ignore these videos, that they are important and have a lot of detail and examples in them. I think this will make a big difference in her success.

[@carolvillanueva9165]

Thank you for this intro! I am starting classes in January (after 30 years since graduating high school) and have been freaking out wondering if I could do this stuff. Well, I've been doing it for 30 years without even knowing it. YAY!!!! Seems like this topic is the connection between doing math and understanding why/what one is doing with math. Thank you so much for the boost. I have SUBSCRIBED + Liked = (Love your vid!) Thanks again!

[@chellwallace2179]

Thank you so much Becky. I have my assessment coming up and had no clue what quantitative reasoning even meant. looking forward to all you have to offer me. thanks again

[@user-xm1cx3or9n]

Wow! I needed this back in grade school. I wonder if this would have been a better foundation for me. This makes so much sense. Thank you so much!

[@ZaydenJayy]

This is so simple. I hope I’m stressing on this course for no reason 😅

[@samanthamendoza6637]

Thank you! Going back to school after dropping out of my first year like 7 years ago!!! I need to take my math placement test and hate mathhhh but this made me more comfortable

[@teamstersmusicunion]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!!! SHE IS SO VERY MUCH INDEED AWESOME!!! YES

[@josephleece682]

So I failed a college algebra test because I didn't realize I accidentally taught myself quantitative reasoning and assumed a right answer was a right answer as long as I showed my work.

[@LowBudgetMassacre]

I start classes in Aug and im super nervous since i havent taken math in 20 years

[@BeckyMoening]

I tutor, as much or as little as you need. Feel free to email me, [e-mail], if you'd like to learn more about that or set up a session!

[@LeinaMarie94]

love and appreciate the visual going along with what you're saying :)

[@emmettace5178]

Great intro to the subject. Do you have any other videos on this?

[@nathanielroy1996]

Thank you so much. This has really helped me and it has made is so much less scary for me

[@orangehairdude4584]

Thank you so much im gonna share this to my friends now

[@BH_Ruffle]

great video, you explained this extremely well!😁

[@inia.nichelle]

Thank you for the help will be referring to your videos and have already subscribed

[@kalkidanakanw5920]

Thank this is exactly what i want and you should be the best teacher and i really like your examples and how you teach love and am kelly

[@baddinagardina629]

how do we get to lesson 2 & so on

[@heidievans6336]

Attending FW ITCC and have to take the 123 class. Am nervous because its been over 10-years since I took a math course... :-/

[@BeckyMoening]

You've got this! I have videos for the entire workbook, and some of the projects. If you have questions, let me know!

[@heidievans6336]

@@BeckyMoening Thank you so much!

[@youtubehero8798]

I’m confused.... how is it not c for the first question. A fraction should be the same as a Demi cal. Even if it wasn’t rounded off it like a trick question.

[@mggz71]

Shoot! Well I think might have to cancel my class. I am obviously not ready for it 😔😔😔😔

[@thomasfrank4096]

Good practice! Thank you

[@rpgjones9078]

Ummm this is weird...u have my last name and my Nick name...I finally get to say, hey ace!

[@janiearanda5316]

Thanks for the info!

[@jeffbach7366]

Having trouble getting the second week of class, the 68-95-99.7 Rule.😔

[@rommelcruzsager]

Is this similar to algebra?

[@jononeal4181]

Why does more questions equal poor reasoning shouldn't it mean lack of information?

[@itsDjjayyArt]

Facts

[@KL-bg8fi]

Great👍

[@anthonylopez705]

Excellent

[@jononeal4181]

Why does difference mean subtraction? Wouldn't honestly depend on what perspective it's being observed from.

[@Tootisepop]

Math is a weird subject

[@itsDjjayyArt]

@@Tootisepop exactly why are we force to take math

[@barrydavis331]

Did you write the second example problem? Explaining away choice D with the 4 to 7 example is unacceptable because you have actual quantities in the problem. Choice B is as valid as choice C because it is the city with greater population is obvious. Choice D has applications in the real world with administrators that would compare/analyze enrollment to the actual population. Fort Wayne has a 250% greater general population. It is expected that Fort Wayne has more students. Without a specific question being asked, choice D is the better real-life response.

[@peach_blossom3437]

Thank you now I understand

[@datinky9516]

OMG I THOT THIS WOULD BE SO HARD. BUT IT'S SO EZZZZZ

[@1776mikew]

Good explanation but this type of mathematics​ seems useless in every day Life.

[@jasmineelyse]

Mike Workman most mathematics is useless in every day life. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@therealhtown1915]

lol yes like a waste of time

[@redmoon9650]

True. But if you’re in college and your major requires it, what can you do? I’m trying to go in for nursing and this is one of the required courses. 🤷‍♀️

[@jeremythompson3859]

Actually super useful for people in STEM fields as the problem usually isn't doing the problem, it's creating it in the first. It helps in real life VERY often, just you already do it subconsciously.

[@karynhahn6200]

I am a former classroom teacher and currently tutor privately and am confronted with this comment all the time. This is what I tell students: you should never pass up the opportunity to learn something as thoroughly as possible regardless of how "useful" you might think it is because nobody's life turns out the way they thought it would and you never know what might come in handy. I speak from personal experience.

[@laramarietuy9880]

Thankyouuuu

[@pfwill11]

i need help in this subject :(

[@chrisbrowne6419]

TYX:)

You know what's lazy and unreasonable? Not filling the screen with the content. I'm squinting at my mobile.

[@Illisil]

While the video was interesting and informative, I felt that it did not fully elucidate the difference between understanding the math that you're doing and quantitative reasoning. You give several examples in which students simply do the math poorly indicating that they did not understand the math, not that they were not using quantitative reasoning. When you showed a student doing quantitative reasoning, you simply showed that they understood the math that they were doing. At the conclusion of this video, I had no greater understanding of quantitative reasoning, instead, I had only the understanding that students need to understand the math that they are doing, they need to understand what the word problems mean, they need to understand which numbers go where in a math problem when converting a word problem to a math problem.

[@wmorris3484]

After watching this im voting Biden because really anything else is just bad math. Forgive me baby jesus

[@sagemastergrasie9433]

🤔so basically you need a good foundation in logical thinking and one heck of amount of comprehension... just to find out why 2 +2= 4 ....understandable. 👍

[@AK47HEAVYMETAL83]

Sagemaster Grasie 😂😂😂 just a few tidbits lol
