- The journal provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences which contribute to the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning for students from upper secondary/high school level through to university first degree level. A distinctive feature of the journal is its emphasis on the applications of mathematics and mathematical modelling within the context of mathematics education world-wide. The journal's readership consists of mathematics teachers, students, researchers and those concerned with curriculum development and assessment, indeed anyone concerned about the education of users of mathematics.

Abstract:
The study reported in this article deals with the observed actions of prospective Swedish mathematics teachers as they were working with a modelling situation. These prospective teachers were preparing to teach in Grades four to nine or in the gymnasium (Grades 10 to 12) and were students on a course in mathematical modelling. The way the students tackled the modelling situation, their strategies and attitudes are discussed as well as the difficulties in assessing mathematical modelling performance.Document Type: Research article
