James S. Wolper – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Adjusting the Calculus I curriculum by putting modelling and differential equations literally at its centre leads to a better-organised and better-motivated course. The biggest change is including a section on "qualitative" and "numerical" solutions to ordinary differential equations between the customary sections on…

Tran, Dung; Nguyen, Duyen Thi; Nguyen, An Thi Tan; Nguyen, Giang-Nguyen Thi; Ta, Phuong Minh – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
To address the upcoming reform curriculum initiative following competency-based learning in Vietnam, this study examines how variations of a contextualized task allow students to experience the mathematical modelling process. We explore how Grade 10 students respond to tasks with different levels of authenticity when they first attempt such tasks.…

Grassl, R.; Mingus, T. T. Y. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
Experiences in designing and teaching a reformed abstract algebra course are described. This effort was partially a result of a five year statewide National Science Foundation (NSF) grant entitled the Rocky Mountain Teacher Enhancement Collaborative. The major thrust of this grant was to implement reform in core mathematics courses that would…
