In the example given, both students, Tabitha and Tanya, take an integrating approach to dealing with mathematics and reality in such tasks and their manner of dealing with the context of real world tasks remained stable from Year 9 to Year 11. In addition, communicative artefacts required by the tasks help reveal the students’ deepening understanding of mathematics.Modelling tasks: insight into mathematical understandingBook chapterControlled201009399
