Development of probabilistic understanding in fourth grade (2016, background): “This core process of translating between a model generated and the world it represents has long been emphasized in the literature (e.g., Blum & Leiß, 2007; Blum & Niss, 1991).”
ON THE USE OF REALISTIC FERMI PROBLEMS FOR INTRODUCING MATHEMATICAL MODELLING IN SCHOOL (2009, unknown): “TMME, vol6, no.3, p .337 Figure 1: The modelling cycle by Blum and Leiβ (2007) as adapted and presented by Borromeo Ferri (2006, p. 92) This choice of view on mathematical modelling is in line with how mathematical modelling is described in the Swedish upper secondary curriculum (see above) and…”
Effects of prompting multiple solutions for modelling problems on students’ performance (2015, background): “The wide range of students’ modelling activities is described in modelling circles (Galbraith and Stillman 2006; Blum and Leiss 2007; Verschaffel et al. 2000) and implies, among other practices, the correct use of mathematical procedures or so-called intramathematical performance (Niss et al.”
The promise and challenges of generative AI in education (2024, unknown): “…providing the steps to solve the problem, the notebooks are designed based on research in mathematics education about mathematical modelling (Blum and Leiß 2007), resulting in a prototype support system that guides students through a structured process of mathematical problem solving…”
