Context of the Standard |
Scientists, computer scientists, mathematicians, and programmers construct and use models to better conceptualize and understand phenomena under investigation or to develop a possible solution to a proposed problem. Models include diagrams, physical replicas, mathematical representations, analogies, and computer simulations. Models are used to represent a system (or parts of a system) under study, to aid in the development of questions and explanations, to generate data that can be used to make predictions, and to communicate ideas to others. In second grade, students are expected to create simple models. These models may be created using a computing device. |
