Summary:

When students use their mathematical tools and ideas to make a decision, they are modeling. In this book, we focus on what teachers and students do while engaged in modeling in middle and high school classrooms, and how their work reflects four big ideas about mathematical modeling that are based in the discipline of mathematics. This book will guide teachers to becoming teachers of modeling.
