Mathematical Modelling: The Interaction of Culture and Practice.
Molyneux-Hodgson, Susan; Rojano, Teresa; Sutherland, Rosamund; Ursini, Sonia
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v39 n1-3 p167-83 1999
Analyzes the results of a Mexican/British project that used the sociocultural approach to investigate ways in which mathematics is used in the practice of school science and the role of spreadsheets as a mathematical modeling tool. Suggests the possibility of enhancing students' capability to shift between a wider range of representations using the modeling approach embedded in computer environments such as a spreadsheet. (Contains 15 references.) (Author/ASK)
