SIAM Session Connects Education and Research at the 2023 Joint Mathematics Meetings

Description

Applied mathematicians regularly use mathematical modeling to situate mathematics in real-life contexts. The popularity of math modeling is growing rapidly in educational settings; in fact, it now appears in many secondary—and even primary—mathematics curricula because of its connection to real-world problem-solving. However, educators often struggle to find the time, inspiration, and means to craft relevant questions and modeling scenarios for their students.
