TEXTS IN EDUCATION MATHEMATICAL MODELLING FOR...

While there are many areas of focus in mathematics education  there are many good reasons for
offering applicable mathematics education in schools. Let us just mention two of the most
important reasons. On the one hand  a focus on the practical side of mathematics presents a
convincing and motivating answer to the typical student question: ¿Why study mathematics?¿ On
the other hand  education policy seems inclined to move in this direction by implementing
international testing  curricula and catalogues of skills. The most important feature of this
book is that the authors speak directly to you  the mathematics teachers. The authors attempt
to draw you into a continuous dialogue about activities you are asked to engage in as learners.
You are asked to do something  and through doing and reflecting you will gain first-hand
experience of new approaches and materials. In this way  you can learn to teach applicable
mathematics to your students using your own experience as learners of applicable mathematics 
motivated and supported by the book. Here applicable mathematics education is the phrase we use
to describe reality-based mathematics education. Reality-based mathematics relies heavily on
problem solving and a positive disposition to engage with mathematics. Modelling reality and
simulating selected aspects of reality are other pillars of reality-based mathematics
education.
