Course Objective

In this course, students are informed about the concept of mathematical modeling and modeling processes, work on different modeling problems, benefit from technology in the modeling process, design modeling problems, are informed about in-class modeling applications, plan in-class modeling applications, and examine and evaluate solution approaches and thought processes of students who solve modelling problem. It is aimed that students have the knowledge and skills to develop and implement modeling applications for their future teaching in the light of the knowledge and experiences they have gained in the course.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Explain the concept of mathematical modelling and modelling processes.
2	Solve different mathematical modelling problems according to stages of modelling processes.
3	Design and solve real life problems including mathematical modelling.
4	Evaluate students solutions to modelling problems.
5	Design in/out-class modelling applications.

Mode of Delivery

Face -to- Face

Prerequisites and Co-requisites
