Chapter 11: “A Case for Mathematical Modeling in the Elementary School Classroom.” Mary Alice Carlson, Megan H. Wickstrom, Elizabeth A. Burroughs, and Elizabeth W. Fulton (Montana State University) describe how opportunities to review previously learned mathematics content were raised in the context of modeling experiences and how the need to develop new mathematical procedures emerged. They make the case that modeling opportunities should be offered to every student and at all levels.
