Abstract

Our proposal presents two types of modelling that emerged from our systematic work on real-life projects with university students in rural Patagonia. Mathematical modelling (MM) allows students to make rational decisions while designing solutions in a complex reality (Cordero et al., 2022). Therefore, we needed to analyse the modelling process to improve our task design and classroom orchestration. Our previous work looked at the modelling process as a single cycle following Blum and Leiß (2007). However, from the classroom work, we started to observe different processes that motivated this new approach to mathematical modelling.
