• Modeling conceptions revisited (2006, background): “…perspectives evolved out of research on concept development more than research on problem solving; and, rather than being preoccupied with the kind of word problems emphasized in textbooks and standardized tests, the focus is on (simulations of) problem solving “in the wild”(Lesh & English, 2005).”
• Use of models in the teaching of linear algebra (2010, background): “TheModels andModelingapproach is auseful theoretical framework fordevelopingmodel-eliciting activities to help students develop ideas in ameaningful realistic context [7,8].”
• “How Real People Really Need Mathematics in the Real World”—Authenticity in Mathematics Education (2018, background): “From the 1990’s onwards, they entered primary and secondary mathematics education [30,31].”
