Abstract

 

The paper summarizes the concepts related to modeling issues and design orientations for modeling activities in teaching mathematics. The meanings of the concept of limit of a function are also clarified in the next section of the paper. These meanings are not effectively mobilized by students when they learn to solve a situation beyond mathematics. Therefore, many mathematical modeling activities have been designed to help students comprehend and apply this concept to real-world problem-solving.
