Abstract	Quantitative Reasoning for Business is a two-semester sequence that serves as an alternative to elementary and intermediate algebra for first-year business students with weak mathematical preparation. Students who take the sequence have been retained at a higher rate and demonstrated a larger reduction in math anxiety than those who take the traditional developmental courses. We share the challenges that led to our choices in adopting and modifying inquiry-based instruction in order to serve our population. (As Provided).
