Enablers of Mathematical Modelling
This website is dedicated to the findings of and resources developed through an Australian Research Council Project — Using mathematics to solve real world problems: The role of enablers. The purpose of the project is to identify, apply and refine teaching approaches that help secondary students learn how to use mathematics to solve real-world problems; the processes of mathematical modelling.
Specifically, the project has been concerned with how to "enable" students to successfully engage with mathematical modelling. Thus, this website includes guidance on how to design and implement tasks and resources that support effective instruction in mathematical modelling. The ultimate aim is to promote student capability and interest in applying mathematics to the real world.
