Cultivating Intuition for Mathematical Modelling in an Interdisciplinary STEM Lesson: A Case Study in Singapore

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: This study presents the rationale and execution of an interdisciplinary STEM lesson on mathematical modelling for secondary and pre-tertiary students in Singapore. Instead of directly introducing differential equations, which are typically employed in such models, an alternative computational thinking approach is utilized. The lesson employs relatable contexts such as a zombie apocalypse to foster understanding
