Abstract:

The aim of this study is to develop mathematical modelling facilities for Secondary School 8th Grade. By means of the developed activities, it is intended to help teacher understand better the constructive approach, upon which the philosophy of mathematic programme is based, and indicate application skills for the programme. While developing learning activities in accordance with the application of mathematical modelling, criteria were determined by making use of literature. In order to have validities of the content, scope and regression of the activities, some feedbacks were gathered by introducing them to some academicians who are specialists in this field, and 5 mathematics teachers. After these feedbacks, some necessary changes about the activities were done. According to the teachers’ opinions about the activities, the students’ success will increase significantly, thus, the students’ attitudes towards the lesson will change positively, it will help teacher understand the programme better and the cooperation among the students will increase. Furthermore, in addition to their providing the students with conceptual growth, the activities were expressed to facilitate the teachers in designing a constructive learning environment and develop learning activities, and it was said that they would increase the applicability of the programme.
