Nombre evento 16th International Conference on the Teaching of Mathematical Modelling and Applications

Descripción

In Colombia, the mathematical training of students in primary and secondary school has, among other purposes, to recognize the cultural diversity, the need for greater equity levels and individuals able to be have a critic position facing the different social and democratic requirements; hence the mathematical modeling has gained ground as a way to meet these education purposes and, therefore, it is suggested as one of the processes the mathematics curriculum must articulate. Such realities require the school mathematics to be developed in places consistent with the environment needs; in turn, this situation imposes the teachers and researchers challenges to reveal the nuances and characteristics the mathematical knowledge has in such environments. As a result of this situation, the view on school mathematics should not be focused only on knowledge as a result that must be acquired, but on the ways in which this knowledge can emerge. In that sense, we focused on the mathematical activity and we put our minds to develop a study that would allow us to understand some aspects of this activity when it is developed in mathematical modeling environments focused on the interests of modelers.
