Modeling+Across+The+Curriculum+in+the+CCSSM

Illustrative Mathematics Project
 * Modeling Across The Curriculum in the CCSSM **
 * A project to provide illustrations of the type of activties and content intended by each standard on the common core

101 Questions
 * A site that provides carious pictures and videos that stimulate mathematical question and can motivate a wide range of modeling activities

Geogebra
 * Free online dynamic geometry and interactive algebra software

Numb3rs Activities
 * Activities developed through a partnership between Texas Instruments Education and the television program //Numb3rs.// They are organized by season and include a number of modeling activities.

PBS Teachers
 * A collection of a large number of classroom resources (not just math). Includes applied math and lessons that are useful for modeling.

Dan Meyer
 * Dan Meyer's blog. Includes links to his lessons, his thoughts on education, with a lot of modeling incorporated - check the //3 Act Lessons// for several modeling-type lessons.

NC Early Mathematics Placement Test
 * Website for the North Carolina Early Mathematics Placement Test. It includes a number of resources.

NetLogo
 * Free, programmable modeling environment. It includes a large number of models (organized into a variety of categories) in the Models Library (these are also available online). Requires download. Students who have an interest or aptitude for programming can program their own models or alter the existing models.

Mathematics Assessment Project
 * A project from the Mathematics Assessment Resource Service (part of the Shell Centre for Mathematical Education at the University of Nottingham). It contains a number of resources, including many well-developed lessons that could be used as modeling activities.


 * Motivated graph models and ideas from social network theory, with teacher notes.


 * Serves as a way to motivate and demonstrate the modeling process, with teacher notes.


 * A recursive model that can lead discussion about equilibrium points and why they occur.


 * A stimulation model, with teaching notes.


 * This activity leads to a variety of models and a fruitful discussion about counting the number of arrangement.


 * This activity motivates linear functions, constant rate of change, reinforce the connections between the two, or perhaps to consider the use of variables in function models, with teacher notes.


 * Motivates and explores exponential decay and function modeling


 * Use Statistical models and curve-fitting to predict the future in the real life.


 * Modeling exponential decay and recursion


 * Probability models

 * Statistical Analysis


 * A lesson on data modeling


 * A lesson on modeling relationships between two variables


 * Probability modeling with Hershey kisses


 * A lesson modeling rates and data using classmates


 * A lesson using geometry principles


 * A lesson motivating and exploring proportionality


 * A geometry modeling lesson focusing on measurement


 * A series of three lessons. First, gathering data. Second, linear and exponential models. Third, incorporates geometric principles.
