Learning Mathematical Modelling — From the Perspective of Probability and Statistics Education

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: New ICMI Study Series ((NISS,volume 10))

Abstract

The competency of mathematical modelling of real phenomena is a necessary component of mathematical literacy for all, strongly needed in education of today’s and future society. This article considers the main aspects of a process of learning mathematical modelling, according to student’s cognitive development, discussed from the perspective of probability and statistics education.
