SSME455 MATHEMATICAL MODELING FOR TEACHERS
Course Content
Models and modeling approach on mathematics problem solving, learning, and teaching; application of mathematics to model real-world problem situations of different branches of mathematics. Training teachers in modeling process: understanding the real-world problem situations, making assumptions, formulating mathematical problem, solving the mathematical problem, interpreting the solution, verifying the model, reporting, explaining, and making predictions based on the model. Implications of modeling in the classrooms, training prospective teachers for teaching and learning mathematics with modeling in the classrooms.
