“…Mathematical modeling has received more attention since its inclusion in the Common Core State Standards as both a Standard for Mathematical Practice and content standards at the high school level (Common Core State Standards Initiative [CCSSM], ). Mathematical modeling is an iterative process that involves open‐ended, real‐world, practical problems that students make sense of with mathematics using assumptions, approximations, and multiple representations (Stohlmann & Albarracin, ). The studies discussed in this paper that implemented mathematical modeling did so with science content or in science contexts.…”

The integration of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education has received increased attention in the last decade. This is in part because of the need for students to increase in their STEM knowledge and competencies. Research is still needed to determine effective implementation models and curriculum for integrated STEM. Mathematics in particular has not received the focus it deserves with STEM integration. This paper discusses integration of STEM subjects that has a focus on mathematics (integrated steM); including summarizing and analyzing research done in the last ten years. A s.t.e.m. (Support, Topics, Emphasis, and Mathematical content) model for integrated steM research is presented to guide future research.

Of the four subjects in an integrated science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) approach, mathematics has not received enough focus. This could be in part because mathematics teachers may be apprehensive or unsure about how to implement integrated STEM education in their classrooms. There are benefits to integrated STEM in a mathematics classroom though, including increased motivation, interest, and achievement for students. This article discusses three methods that middle school mathematics teachers can utilize to integrate STEM subjects. By focusing on open-ended problems through engineering design challenges, mathematical modeling, and mathematics integrated with technology middle school students are more likely to see mathematics as relevant and valuable. Important considerations are discussed as well as recent research with these approaches. K E Y W O R D S integrated STEM, mathematics education, middle school, STEM education 288 | STOHLMANN

“…Activities that involve mathematical modeling usually have been taught to engineering students at the tertiary level. Eventually, for the past several years, studied have found that the importance of the application of mathematical modeling for primary and secondary school students had a significant effect to developing the analytical thinking and problem-solving ability (Stohlmann, M. S., & Albarracín, L. (2016); Cardella, 2006;Lesh & Zawojewski, 2007). As consequences, the competency of STEM careers could be improved.…”

This study presents to identify mathematical modeling is the least elements focusing on current STEM integration practices. Through this study, a review of the existing practice of STEM integration curriculums, models, modules, and programmes was undertaken to confirm the issue. The database reviewed to confirm this issue is from Social Sciences Citation Index with keyword "Mathematical Modeling," "STEM curriculum," "STEM model," "STEM module" and "STEM program." As a result, these studies confirmed that mathematical modeling activities were the least focusing on existing STEM integration practices and the theory of metacognation and the theory of sosial interaction development could promote these abilities.
