Thinking Blocks is a site for primary school mathematics teachers. The website provides interactive templates in which students use brightly colored blocks to model and solve problems. As students work through the problems they are provided with feedback as to whether or not they are using the correct sequence to solve each problem. There are templates and problems for addition, multiplication, fractions, and ratios. Students can try to develop their own problems using the modeling tool.

GeoGebra is an interactive geometry, algebra, statistics and calculus application that allows animation, 3-D graphical representation and different views of mathematical objects. Watch a video on Modelling with Geogebra at https://youtu.be/VtYdHTNwjmU

Dr. Geo is interactive geometry software that allows its users to design & manipulate interactive geometric sketches. It is free software.

One mobile application that I came across that involved modeling would be: Beaker - Mix Chemicals by THIX Education.

Tinkercad is an online 3D printing designing tool. I have used this tool during my applied learning lessons where students have to design a robot and they use this tool to design their structure.

Aviators are required to have in-depth knowledge about the different aircraft systems. One model to help learn about aircraft propulsion systems is EngineSim, a program developed by NASA to help learners investigate how the thrust of jet or turbine engines change with varying engine parameters.

I've adopted the use of Multi-e-Maths Toolbox in my Math teaching. It gives me the flexibility of using different tools for the demonstration of math concepts using virtual manipulatives. The interface can be paired with the use of an interactive whiteboard and this allow the teacher and students to manipulate and move the manipulatives around on the screen with ease. All strands of numeracy can be taught from this modelling tool and effective use depends solely on the creativity of the teacher using the tool.

It's not a free software. But you can read more about it here: https://opentrolley.com.sg/series/mult-e-maths

For my course, we do not really use any models as it is very skill based. But for one of my modules - Interpersonal Skills for F&B Professionals, we will talk about individuals personal grooming and how to keep ourselves healthy, hence, we have incorporated this website from Health Promotion Board. Student will need to key in what they have eaten the day before for all their meals to check whether they are eating healthy as part of the healthy lifestyle.

While Prezi is initially designed to enhance the way we do presentation, it can be a useful model for subject teaching and learning. I use Prezi since 2009, the evolution of the tools are unexpected, from a simple presentation tools to a collaborative, cognitive, modelling tools. Prezi allows user to create information from Bird Eye View to Fine Details, includes many examples as Model for further development.

I use the virtual manipulatives from the site/app of National Library of Virtual Manipulatives. They are useful especially for primary maths topics. There are many relevant topics (Geometry, Algebra, Numbers, Measurement etc.) for the students to use/manipulate and this helps them to visualize better. It needs Java to run / work. Here is the link:

Models are useful as they provide a simplified visualization of what might often be an abstract concept (E.g a Scientific Model, Business Process Model) or a concept that might be hard to see by the naked eye (E.g Solar System). This allows learners to make meaning out of concepts they cannot experience real time. From the teachers' point of view, explaining a concept is easier and efficient, with a model. Models also guide experimentation. Learners are able trial different variables and discover the results without having to manage real/actual consequences.

Models are used in school in various form and is an effective way of presenting abstract concepts visually to the learners. Learners were allowed to formulate their own understanding when they get to use it. Working with models can enhance systems thinking abilities for students.

Modelling is useful for breaking down abstract problems or concepts into simpler parts to facilitate understanding.

I think the physics interactives from the physics classroom are great examples of modelling tools which simplify complex problems. When a problem is simplified, cognitive load is reduced which facilitates students thinking. The physics interactives also allow certain parameters/variables to be changed which allows the expansion of new ideas and concepts. Lastly, modelling also allow new perspectives to be formed. When a static problem is illustrated using a dynamic animation, the problem is introduced in a new perspective which encourages the construction of new solutions.

For Mathematics, using a model helps the student to understand the question better. But in the first place, the student must be able to draw the correct model, otherwise based on a wrong model, the student will get the wrong answer. Many students who cannot draw the model are often struck and find themselves unable to solve the questions. Hence, to use the strategy of a model well, the teachers will need to ensure that the students can draw it well in the first place.

Models serve to materialise and communicate thoughts - at times abstract and preliminary. It may be conveyed through a medium that may be perceived most often through visual, audio and kinesthetic means. Be it analogue or digital in nature, it allows external viewers - beyond that of the thought originator - to appreciate the thinking at a safe distance. This also enables the external viewer, to impose his/her own experiences and develop upon the base that the originator has envisioned.
