People use models every day without even realizing it. Models create a structure for predictions (inferences) that can be used or adapted as situations change. A model is a relational system that highlights aspects of a phenomenon that the modeler deems important and diminishes the rest. Statistical models capture variability of data, enabling…

Zubi, Ibtisam Abdelhalek; Peled, Irit; Yarden, Marva – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
This study investigates the participation and knowledge growth of children with mathematical difficulties as they work in groups with their classmates on a year-long sequence of modelling tasks. It involves observations of a class of 23 fifth graders, 9 of whom were identified as having difficulties in mathematics. All the students worked for 8…

Archer, Lester A. C.; Ng, Karen E. – Journal of Education in Science, Environment and Health, 2016
The purpose of this paper is to explain how to use the scientific method as the framework to introduce mathematical model. Two interdisciplinary activities, targeted for students in grade 6 or grade 7, are explained to show the application of the scientific method while building a mathematical model to investigate the relationship between the…

Yanik, H. Bahadir; Karabas, Celil – Teaching Children Mathematics, 2014
Modeling requires that people develop representations or procedures to address particular problem situations (Lesh et al. 2000). Mathematical modeling is used to describe essential characteristics of a phenomenon or a situation that one intends to study in the real world through building mathematical objects. This article describes how fifth-grade…

Özgün-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas G.; Chelst, Kenneth R. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
In mathematics, students should represent, model, and work with such real-world situations as those found in the physical world, the public policy realm, and society (CCSSI 2010). Additionally, students need to make decisions and be flexible enough to improve their decisions after analyzing realistic situations. The LEGO® Pets activity does just…
