Mathematical modelling at a glance: a theoretical study

Mathematical modeling is one of the bases of mathematics education. Mathematical modeling is described as conversion activity of a real problem in a mathematical form. Modeling involves to formulate the real-life situations or to convert the problems in mathematical explanations to a real or believable situation. According to this approach, mathematical models are an important part of all areas of mathematics include arithmetic, algebra, geometry, or calculus. Therefore, the mathematical modeling might be offered all ages groups of higher learning, high school and primary school. When the studies recently performed about mathematical modeling are examined, it is seen how important modeling is. In this study, the importance, main features and process of mathematical modeling will be mentioned. This study is a theoretical study and is thought to be useful for other work to do.
