Saka, Ebru; Alkan, Sevilay – International Journal of Curriculum and Instruction, 2022
In the study, it was aimed to examine the activities in the Secondary School Mathematics Practices course books taught within the scope of mathematics practices course in Turkey and published by the Ministry of National Education, according to the principles of Model Eliciting Activity (MEA) design. For this purpose, document analysis technique,…

Jones, Ryan Seth; Jia, Zhigang; Bezaire, Joel – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2020
Too often, statistical inference and probability are treated in schools like they are unrelated. In this paper, we describe how we supported students to learn about the role of probability in making inferences with variable data by building models of real world events and using them to simulate repeated samples.

Kalayci, Özlem; Gün, Özge – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2022
There exist many studies on modeling competencies and their promotion; however, there is a need to investigate what modeling competencies are and how they vary in lower and higher-achieving groups of students in mathematics within the current modeling literature domain. This study examined how mathematical modeling competencies were displayed in…

Boz-Yaman, Burçak; Uyarli, Melike – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2018
In this study, a mathematical modeling activity was designed and implemented in a seventh grade classroom. The students were first expected to examine a given mathematical model of a problem that is based on a real life situation and then build a model depending on their own criteria. The mathematical modeling activity which was designed by the…

Chamberlin, Scott A.; Parks, Kelly – International Journal of Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology, 2020
The study was a comparison of general students of promise affect and mathematical students of promise affect after doing a mathematical modeling activity. Participants? gender (n=160), in grades 7-8, were nearly equal in number (81 girls & 79 boys). After completing a Model-eliciting Activity (MEA) in groups of three, participants completed…

Shahbari, Juhaina Awawdeh; Peled, Irit – Canadian Journal of Science, Mathematics and Technology Education, 2016
This study analyzes the development of percentages knowledge by seventh graders given a sequence of activities starting with a realistic modeling task, in which students were expected to create a model that would facilitate the reinvention of percentages. In the first two activities, students constructed their own pricing model using fractions and…
