Applied Mathematical Problem Solving, Modelling, Applications, and Links to Other Subjects--State, Trends and Issues in Mathematics Instruction.

Blum, Werner; Niss, Mogens

Educational Studies in Mathematics, v22 n1 p37-68 Feb 1991

This paper reviews the present state, recent trends, and prospective lines of development concerning applied problem solving, modeling, and their respective applications. Four major trends are scrutinized with respect to curriculum inclusion: a widened spectrum of arguments, an increased universality, an increased consolidation, and an extended computer utilization.
