The purpose of this chapter is to explore the practices teachers use when facilitating mathematical modeling in elementary schools. In spite of the increased interest in incorporating mathematical modeling in school settings, classroom instruction around modeling “remains a challenge” (English, Ärlebäck, & Mousoulides, 2016), and issues related to teaching mathematical modeling are underexplored (Kaiser, 2018). Through qualitative analysis of discourse data from a teacher study group, I address the following question: What practices do teachers describe using when they facilitate mathematical modeling in elementary schools? Teachers’ reported practices fell into four categories: working with student ideas, interacting with the real-world context, monitoring and supporting mathematics learning, and linking student ideas with the mathematical model. I also offer descriptions of the ways teachers’ practices helped them facilitate students’ work with the real-world context, support students as they built mathematical solutions, and decide how to bring closure to the modeling task.
