Mathematical modelling in the Malaysian secondary curriculum. Learning Science and Mathematics Online Journal (8). pp. 66-74. ISSN 2637-0832 (2014)
Abstract
In this paper, the author discussed why mathematical modelling should be introduced in the mathematics curriculum at the secondary level in Malaysia. The importance of mathematical modelling process and the analysis on how Singapore and the USA had placed modelling in the mathematics curriculum are presented. Some modelling examples provided are meant to provide illustrations of the modelling tasks and processes that can be linked to the current Malaysian secondary curriculum. The benefits of modelling are enormous in the mathematics classroom. One not only understands how mathematics is used in the real-world but also construct a model or physical representation that is used to solve the problem. Using the modelling processes to solve real-world problems would help one in making conjectures and reasoning that is one of the important focus in the mathematics curriculum
