Apply mathematical modeling in steam education at high schools

Abstract

In mathematics instruction, mathematical models are one of the powerful tools for promoting effective learning. However, it must be used properly. Teachers need to use mathematical models as part of their teaching methods. STEAM education represents a paradigm shift from a traditional education based on standardized test scores to modern ideas that focus on the valuation of learning process. In essence, we allow our students to be wrong, try many ideas, listen to alternative ideas and create a knowledge base that can be applied to real life. In this paper, the researcher studied the application of modeling in STEAM education projects.
