- Definition
Mathematical modelling is like using math as a tool to understand and solve problems from the real world, like figuring out how fast a car needs to go to get somewhere on time. It involves a cycle of understanding the problem, using math to represent it, and then checking if your math solution makes sense.
mathematical modelling is a term used in Ontario’s Kindergarten to Grade 8 curriculum.
