This single-page resource is crafted with families in mind, aiming to explain mathematical modeling, its benefits, and ways families can assist their child(ren) in grasping the links between math and our everyday experiences.
Material Type: Reading
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.
Material Type: Diagram/Illustration
This is flyer to use for marketing purposes or as a way to peak interest about math modeling. Wisconsin resource inspired by math modeling information and resources at www.eqstemm.org Contact Jennifer Suh jsuh4@gmu.edu
Material Type: Diagram/Illustration
This single-page resource was created to simplify the process and aspects of mathematical modeling in an easy-to-use overview.
Material Type: Diagram/Illustration
This planning form breaks down the pre-planning work into one form. It includes a brief description of each phase of the math modeling task, a placeholder for writing specific teacher instructional moves, along with questions to probe deeper reasoning and thinking skills. The form also incorporates teacher and student outcomes for each phase along with space to use during the live lesson for student evidence. An example of how to use this planning form is found at the bottom of this document.
Material Type: Lesson Plan
This lesson plan describes a series of activities to take students on a journey through the mathematical modeling process that eventually gets them to answer the question: What item(s) should be sold at the concession stand for us to raise enough money for a celebration? This lesson was created using the Math Modeling Lesson Plan template by EQSTEMM at www.eqstemm.org. Contact Jennifer Suh at jsuh4@gmau.edu.
Material Type: Activity/Lab, Learning Task, Lesson Plan
Infographic to be used by teachers in indentifying instructional routines and types of tasks to support students' development of mathematical modeling skills.
Material Type: Other
Consider using this infographic to share why teaching mathematical modeling is vital to ensuring students' mathematical experience meets the intent of the 2021 Wisconsin Standards for Mathematics.
Material Type: Other, Teaching/Learning Strategy
This professional learning resource is to be used with K-12 Math Educators in teaching what Mathematical Modeling is, as well as provide resources to implement modeling into classrooms. Within the slide deck, there are pre- and post- surveys to help measure the edcators' capacity before and after the learning. Also, included is a modeling task analysis tool.
Material Type: Teaching/Learning Strategy
These slides provide the mathematical modeling routines, "If I knew...then I could" and "Mathematizing the World," also know as Notice and Wonder, using sites from all over the state of Wisconsin. This Wisconsin resource was inspired by math modeling information and resources found on the www.eqstemm.org website.
Material Type: Learning Task, Teaching/Learning Strategy
This is one page document to help clarify the practice/action of math modeling in school for administrators, as a way to show the importance of math modeling. Wisconsin resource inspired by math modeling information and resources at www.eqstemm.org.
