Abstract

This NSF-funded project, the Mathematics of Doing, Understanding, Learning, and Educating for Secondary Schools (MODULE(S2)), supports collaborative development of mathematical modeling modules that were first piloted around the country in 2019–2020 and will be eventually made available widely. This report provides an overview of the structure of the material, highlights several modeling tasks, describes the use of simulations of practice in the curriculum materials, and summarizes activities conducted with piloting faculty.
