From problem solving to modeling – the emergence of models and modeling perspectives

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: More than 25 years ago, a research project in the U.S investigated the question: ”What is needed by students, beyond having a mathematical idea, that enables students to use the mathematical idea in everyday problem solving situations? (Lesh, Landau & Hamilton, 1983). The answer to this question has begun to emerge after 25 years of systemic work in the domain of modeling. In this paper, we chronicle the emergence of models and modeling perspectives (MMP) from the genre of problem solving research via a synthesis of the major strands in the extant literature.
