Mathematical Texts in a Mathematical Modelling Learning Environment in Primary School

Un análisis sobre las barreras de la modelación matemática en la práctica educativa del profesor de básica primaria

“…Algunas investigaciones muestran que la educación básica primaria debería considerar la modelación tanto como un objetivo relevante como una manera de incluir a los estudiantes en el proceso de resolución de problemas realistas (de Almeida et al, 2015), o como una forma de introducirlos en el tipo de pensamiento que es esencial para este proceso (Carreira, 2011). De hecho, estos estudios demuestran que los niños de este ciclo son capaces de participar en procesos de modelación matemática (English, 2013).…”

What Is Known about Elementary Grades Mathematical Modelling

“…MEAs used in Lesh et al [27] promote students to work on patterns of information, linked with using numbers to represent mathematical objects (like locations or paths). There was one study done with geometry content [28]. In the Kawakami et al 's [29] study the content of activities is concretely working with three-and two-dimensional shapes and figures.…”

“…The largest amount of content connections was in the measurement and data/statistics category. The content included interpreting and dealing with multiple tables of data (e.g., [30][31][32]), quantifying qualitative data [6,33], operationally defining constructs [6], exploring relationships and trends (e.g., [34]), representing and structuring findings/data in visual and text forms (e.g., [35,36]), selecting, ranking, and aggregating data (e.g., [33]), weighted ranks (e.g., [30]), sampling [6], identifying variation in data [34,37,38], using an optimization model that uses a two-dimensional coordinate grid [39], area [17], developing a survey and collecting data [35,40], volume measurement [28], and simple randomization distribution to test a hypothesis about the nature of ESP [40].…”
