Mathematical Modeling

What is a microworld?

A microworld is similar to simulations except that students are encouraged to think about microworlds as a "real" world environment.  Within a microworld, or tiny world, students can "explore alternatives, test hypotheses, and discover facts that are true about that world" (pg. 303).
