This CCLI Phase 2 project addresses the need for student-centered resources that introduce quantitative skills into introductory geoscience courses to increase the quantitative literacy (QL) of students, particularly general education students. This project reduces the significant challenges faced by faculty due to students' varied mathematical preparation and attitudes towards mathematics. It builds upon a CCLI Phase 1 project, "The Math You Need, When You Need It." Intellectual Merit: TMYN are self-paced, web-based student modules that support teaching and learning of quantitative topics in introductory geoscience courses. Pilot projects at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh (UWO) and Highline Community College (HCC) combined several proven pedagogies: student centered instruction, online modular resources and Just-in-Time Teaching. TMYN is being expanded: 1) to develop a variety of implementation models; and 2) to further facilitate the teaching and learning of quantitative skills in the geosciences. The effectiveness of the TMYN modules is being explored by training faculty in their versatility and working with interested faculty to design effective and innovative implementation models. Ten additional modules are being developed to bring the collection of TMYN collection to 16 quantitative concepts. A large dataset and web-based resources, including a tutorial in the use and implementation of TMYN, are being produced. The expanded TMYN program is building resources related to teaching that could make this project self-sustaining. Broader impacts: This project contributes to increasing QL for undergraduates. Increasingly, colleges and universities are recognizing QL as an important outcome for their graduates. The modular design of TMYN allows for tailoring to individual courses and can support increased QL for the more than 350,000 students that take introductory geoscience every year. The project is designed to support geoscience faculty that want to integrate quantitative aspects of geoscience in their courses with little additional effort and minimal alienation from under-prepared students. Geoscience faculty with experience and leadership in the use of QL in the classroom are participating in workshops and using web pages that detail the results of the use of TMYN modules at many different institutions. The use of the SERC web server ensures widespread dissemination.

该CCLI第2阶段项目解决了以学生为中心的资源的需求，这些资源将定量技能引入入门地球科学课程中，以提高学生的定量素养（QL），尤其是普通教育学生。由于学生对数学的多样化的准备和态度，该项目减少了教师面临的重大挑战。它建立在CCLI 1阶段项目的基础上：“需要时，您需要的数学。”智力优点：TMYN是基于网络的学生模块，可支持入门地球科学课程中定量主题的教学和学习。威斯康星大学奥什科什大学（UWO）和Highline社区学院（HCC）的试点项目结合了几种经过验证的教学法：以学生为中心的教学，在线模块化资源和即时教学。 TMYN正在扩展：1）开发各种实施模型； 2）进一步促进地球科学中定量技能的教学。 TMYN模块的有效性正在通过培训教师的多功能性探索，并与有兴趣的教师合作设计有效和创新的实施模型。正在开发其他十个模块，以将TMYN收集的集合带入16个定量概念。正在生产大型数据集和基于Web的资源，包括TMYN使用和实施的教程。扩展的TMYN计划正在建立与教学有关的资源，这可能使该项目自我维持。更广泛的影响：该项目有助于增加本科生的QL。大学越来越多地将QL视为其毕业生的重要成果。 TMYN的模块化设计允许为单个课程量身定制，并可以为每年进行入门地球科学的35万名学生提供增加的QL。该项目旨在支持希望将地球科学的定量方面整合到课程中的地球科学教师，而额外的努力几乎没有准备不足的学生。在课堂上使用QL的经验和领导能力的地球科学教师正在参加研讨会和使用网页，详细介绍了许多不同机构使用TMYN模块的结果。 SERC Web服务器的使用可确保广泛的传播。
