According to the above steps, students acquire the ability to identify or
apply a suitable mathematical model to a real-life problem by looking for
regularities and patterns, generalizing and formalizing information
through developing useful ways of representing the real-life problem,
understanding the relationships between the language of the problem and
the symbolic language needed to understand it mathematically and then
linking it with known problems or other familiar mathematical formulations. The final step involves the translation of the mathematical result
into a solution that works for the original problem context, allowing the
learner to reflect on the applicability of the solution.
