dc.description.abstract	This exploratory study was designed to establish a foundation for future research about the disciplinary literacy practices in the field of mathematics. The purpose was to examine the instructional practices already in place in an undergraduate mathematics course designed to increase quantitative literacy for non-math majors. Using a disciplinary-literacy lens, our goal was to discover: (1) what types of instructional practices related to literacy were present, and (2) if present, could the literacy practices used be linked to students' increased quantitative literacy?	en
