Moore, Tamara J.; Doerr, Helen M.; Glancy, Aran W.; Ntow, Forster D. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Getting students to think deeply about mathematical concepts is not an easy job, which is why we often use problem-solving tasks to engage students in higher-level mathematical thinking. Mathematical modeling, one of the mathematical practices found in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM), is a type of problem solving that can…
