Description: This webinar will outline what Mathematical modelling is and what it is not, and how it is presented in the curriculum. Several mathematical modelling tasks will be shared. Teaching approaches to planning and implementing mathematical modelling will be considered. The usefulness of the mathematical modelling cycle - by teachers and students- to understand the process will be considered. Presenters: Jill Brown is internationally recognised for her research in the field of mathematics education. She has an impressive list of publications that focus on mathematical modelling, the teaching and learning of functions, and the use of digital technologies by teachers and students. Her interests include researching the teaching, learning and assessing of real-world applications and mathematical modelling, mathematical thinking and reasoning, functions in technology-rich environments, affordances, zone theory, and anything that furthers our understanding of teaching and learning mathematics. Jill's university teaching focuses on mathematics and mathematics education for pre-service teachers in Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary courses as well as postgraduate units for practicing teachers, including out-of-field teachers of mathematics. Registrations close Wednesday 11th June, 2025
