“…Living beings may compete with one another for what they need, both inter and intra-species, some individuals having a better chance to survive and reproduce. Although some of these relevant ideas were traditionally addressed at higher levels (e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, Monsoriu et al [50]), this research provides explicit examples of how primary school pupils may benefit from such ideas.…”

In this research, we explored the potential of using a research-based teaching and learning sequence to promote pupils’ engagement in practices that are coherent with those of real world mathematical and scientific activity. This STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematis) sequence was designed and implemented by pre-service teachers and science and mathematics education researchers with the aim of modeling the growth of a real population of rabbits. Results show explicit evidence of pupils’ engagement in relevant mathematical and scientific practices, as well as detailed descriptions of mathematical connections that emerged from those practices. We discuss how these practices and connections allowed the progressive construction of models, and the implications that this proposal may have for STEM task design and for the analysis of extra-mathematical connections.
