Seto, Cynthia, Thomas, Mary Magdalene, Ng, Kit Ee Dawn, Chan, Chung Ming Eric and Widjaja, Wanty 2012, Mathematical modelling for Singapore primary classrooms : from a teacher’s lens, in MERGA 2012 : The 35th Annual Conference of the Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, MERGA, Nanyang, Singapore, pp. 672-679.
Limited Singapore research indicated a lack of exposure of modelling tasks at primary levels. Teacher reflection is used as a tool in design research cycles exploring the potentials of modelling tasks in a Singapore primary five classroom. Findings reveal that the teacher identified three potentials of a modelling task on children’s mathematisation process: the task provided a platform for children to (a) identify variables and form relationships between them, (b) relate school-based math learning to real-world experiences, and (c) justify their mathematical models. Implications on the promotion of modelling tasks at primary schools as well as teacher education are drawn.
