Upon successful completion of the course, students should be able to
- explain the nature and characteristics of modeling activities
- distinguish model eliciting activities from other problems
- develop their modeling competencies that include understanding the real-world problem, setting up a model based on the reality, solving mathematical questions within the mathematical model, interpreting mathematical results in a real situation and making decisions about the results whether they need revisions or extensions, and whether they satisfy the conditions and assumptions given in the problem
- apply their mathematical knowledge and skills to solve real-world problems
- develop their reasoning and communication skills using mathematical language, notation, diagrams, and graphs
- use technology in teaching and learning mathematics through modeling
- use modeling activities in mathematics teaching
