Quantitative literacy goes beyond knowing how to do arithmetic or solve mathematical problems. It involves critical thinking. Quantitative literacy refers to a person’s ability to understand, interpret, analyze, and communicate information presented in quantitative or numerical form. It involves working with numbers, data, and mathematical concepts
meaningfully and practically.

What, Why, Where

Each chapter begins with a What, Why, Where feature that enhances a student’s understanding of why the concepts are essential and how to use them by creating engagement. The “What” part tells you the idea, so you get the basics. The “Why” part explains why it matters in the real world, making it easier to see its relevance. Lastly, the “Where” part shows you where you can use these ideas, clearly showing how to apply them. This feature imparts knowledge and empowers students to connect theoretical understanding with practical implementation, fostering a more comprehensive and applicable grasp of quantitative concepts.
