What is modeling instruction? Instead of relying on lectures and textbooks, the Modeling Instruction program emphasizes active student construction of conceptual and mathematical models in an interactive learning community. Students are engaged with simple scenarios to learn to model the physical world. Find a Modeling Workshop in your area this summer! Modeling Instruction in the…
”Mathematical Etudes” develop Russian traditions in popularization of mathematics. This site presents 3D animated films which tell about mathematics and its applications in exciting and interesting way. So, dear spectator, we invite you to plunge into the world of beautiful mathematical problems. Their statements understandable for schoolchildren but so far scientists have not solved some of them.
