This book documents the journey undertaken by educators from the
Mathematics and Mathematics Education (MME) Academic Group in the
National Institute of Education (NIE) and Singapore schools during
a Mathematical Modelling Outreach (MMO) event in June 2010 under
the guidance of renowned experts in the field of mathematical
modelling. The main goal of MMO was to reach out to Singapore
primary and secondary schools and introduce the potentials of
mathematical modelling as a platform for eliciting mathematical
thinking, communication, and reasoning among students. This book
contributes to the expanding literature on mathematical modelling
by offering voices from the Singaporean context. It suggests how
theoretical perspectives on mathematical modelling can be
transformed into actual practice in schools, all within the
existing infrastructure of the current Singapore mathematics
curriculum. More importantly, the book provides documentary
evidence on how plans put in place through MMO in 2010 have since
been realised.The publication of this book is hence timely at this
juncture. Not only does the book record how MMO was among the first
pebbles launched into the pond, it also serves as a bridge over
which educators can stand upon to view how the ripple effect had
developed from the initial MMO pebble and the directions it may
continue to extend. Perhaps in the process, other ripples in the
teaching, learning, and research of mathematical modelling can be
created.
