The best way to teach mathematical ideas is to start with interesting problems whose solution requires the use of ideas.

Use problem solving as a powerful means to develop substantive mathematical concept.

Modeling

Mathematical models = "systems of Mathematical models = "systems of elements, operations, relationships and rules elements, operations, relationships and rules that can be used to describe, explain, or that can be used to describe, explain, or predict the behavior of some other familiar predict the behavior of some other familiar system”system”

Modeling problems are realistically complex situations where the problem solver engages in mathematical thinking beyond the usual school experience and where the products to be generated often include complex artefacts or conceptual tools that are needed for some purpose, or to accomplish some goal.
