This single-page resource was created to simplify the process and aspects of mathematical modeling in an easy-to-use overview.
Refer to the attached pdf document for an understanding of what mathematical modeling is, why it is important, how it connects to our WI math standards, 2 examples for use, as well as additional resource links.
This resource is a one pager to provide educators quick access to what mathematical modeling is and how to mathematize the world. This resource also provides the steps of mathemtizing as well as the framework visual.

The lab is presented sequentially and thoroughly. Students may repeat parts of the lab as many times as needed to review information or steps they have completed. This lab includes audio, text, interactive steps, and a journal activity. The students will need to follow the directions to complete all of the steps.
The lab has text, audio so that the text can be read, video, and interactive activities.
This applet allows the user to investigate the mean, median, and box-and-whisker plot for a set of data that they create. The data set may contain up to 15 integers, each with a value from 0 to 100.

This applet allows the user to select the number and height of plants or to name a different item data have been collected about to experiment with to find the total height, mean, median, mode, range, variance, and deviation.
This is an activity about the period of the Sun's rotation. Learners will use image of the Sun from the SOHO spacecraft and a transparent latitude/ longitude grid called a Stonyhurst Disk to track the motion of sunspots in terms of degrees of longitude. Using this angular motion measurement, learners will then calculate the sunspot’s angular velocity in order to determine the rotation period of the Sun. This activity requires access to the internet to obtain images from the SOHO image archive. This is Activity 4 of the Space Weather Forecast curriculum.

Author and illustrator Micah Clarke discusses and demonstrates his work as he plots out a science fiction novel likely aimed at middle grade readers. Watch as he starts from the very beginning, working out ideas related to an essential question he is looking to answer. He brainstorms the scope of the major conflict and character ideas on a self-created graphic organizer.
