Modeling will therefore get an extra attention in the teaching the mathematical competence of modeling. This is challenging for both teachers and students, and one of the reasons that it has not been prioritized in teaching mathematics. To teach modeling it requires good tasks to use in the classroom that challenge students on all level. In this study I investigated teaching modeling in the classroom with the research question: (1) How to model task that students can feel relevant and meaningful? (2)…
