Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia (MERGA) (44th, Launceston, Tasmania, Australia, Jul 3-7, 2022)
Competency with mathematical modelling is increasingly important for career and informed and engaged participation in personal, civic and work life. In this paper we report on an aspect of a three-year longitudinal study that aimed to identify and describe enablers of mathematical modelling. Teacher interview data has been drawn upon to exemplify key features of a typology for instructional enablers of mathematical modelling. Findings highlight the importance of the didactical contract and socio-mathematical norms in promoting students' mathematical modelling competency, as well as teachers' anticipatory capabilities.
