Peled, Irit; Keisar, Einav – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
In this action research, first-graders were challenged to cope with a sequence of modelling tasks involving an analysis of given situations and choices of mathematical tools. In the course of the sequence, they underwent a change in the nature of their problem-solving processes and developed modelling competencies. Moreover, during the task…
