ABSTRACT
This chapter presents selected successful cases of the teaching and learning of mathematical modelling from actual educational practices at different educational levels from around the world. It considers three types of cases concerning modelling in mathematics education. The first type of cases consists of individual modelling examples that have been implemented in actual teaching and learning. The second type consists of sustained curricular programmes of mathematical modelling put into practice in certain educational settings. The third type of case consists of educational materials that have been designed for and implemented in a variety of different settings. Problem-oriented project work involving mathematical modelling undertaken by small groups of students under guidance by faculty supervisors was always a key component of the programme. Even though, for structural reasons, BASE was withdrawn from the study programme in 2010, mathematical modelling activities continue to form a crucial part of the mathematics and science programme.
