Paper Title
Factors Affects Mathematical Modeling Process Skills of Gifted Students
Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyse the gifted students' mathematical modeling process skills in terms of
gender and past mathematical modelling projects. This research was carried out with 301 gifted students. According to the
research, there is a correlation between gifted students mathematical modeling process skills (identifying the factors of real
life problems, using proper mathematical statements with creating models to epitomize the real life conditions, using proper
computer programs to creating models to epitomize the real life conditions, explain the necessities of the solution of
mathematical model for real life) and gender. There is a correlation between explaining real life conditions, analyzing the
suitability of the mathematical model’s solution with the real life problem’s needs skills and past mathematical modelling
projects.
