Description
Summary:Mathematics modelling is now one of the areas that is important in the mathematics education arena. The essence of a modelling problem is constructing a mathematical model for the situation at hand. Assessing mathematical is a field that requires more study. Rubrics that assess the modelling process are a good beginning in finding suitable methods of assessing mathematical modelling. This article suggests an instrument for assessing mathematical modelling tasks. The instrument is a scoring rubric that is based on the modelling process.
