Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Asempapa, Reuben S.; Love, Tyler S. – School Science and Mathematics, 2021
Mathematical modeling is a critical component of the current K-12 mathematics, science, and technology and engineering (T&E) educational standards in the United States. However, mathematical modeling is often overlooked or underemphasized in integrative STEM lessons. This could be attributed to teachers' limited content and pedagogical…
