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第二阶段项目解决了以学生为中心的资源需求，将定量技能引入地球科学入门课程，以提高学生，特别是普通教育学生的定量素养（QL）。这个项目减少了教师因学生不同的数学准备和对数学的态度而面临的重大挑战。它建立在CCLI第一阶段项目“当你需要的时候，你需要的数学”的基础上。智力优势：TMYN是自定进度的基于网络的学生模块，支持地球科学入门课程中定量主题的教学和学习。威斯康星大学奥什科什分校（UWO）和高线社区学院（HCC）的试点项目结合了几种行之有效的教学法：以学生为中心的教学、在线模块化资源和即时教学。TMYN正在得到扩展：1)开发各种执行模式；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和与感兴趣的教师合作设计有效和创新的实施模式来探索。正在开发另外10个模块，使TMYN收集的数量概念达到16个。正在编制一个大型数据集和基于网络的资源，包括一个关于使用和实施TMYN的教程。扩展后的TMYN项目正在建立与教学相关的资源，使该项目能够自我维持。更广泛的影响：该项目有助于提高大学生的QL。越来越多的学院和大学认识到QL是毕业生的重要成果。TMYN的模块化设计允许针对个别课程进行定制，并且可以支持每年超过35万名学习地球科学入门课程的学生提高QL。该项目旨在支持那些希望将地球科学的定量方面整合到他们的课程中的地球科学教师，而不需要额外的努力，也不需要与准备不足的学生疏远。在课堂上使用QL方面具有经验和领导能力的地球科学教师正在参加研讨会，并使用网页，详细介绍许多不同机构使用TMYN模块的结果。SERC网站服务器的使用确保了广泛的传播。
