We designed and implemented a project…

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…
