1. Is a process that uses Math

   • Represent
   • Analyze
   • Make predictions

2. Follow a process

3. 1.- Defining the Problem

   • Define before you start
   • Explore the problem
   • Brainstorming
   • A concise restatement of the problem

4. 2.- Making Assumptions

   • Assume supposed methods
   • Simplify questions
   • Consider different factors

5. 3.-Defining Variables

   • Define variables
   • Input (cause) and output (effect)
   • Variables to find solution

6. 4.- Getting a Solution

   • First results
   • Obtaining solutions
   • Basic maths
   • Building of solution
   • Brainstorming

7. 5.- Analysis

   • The model gives the answer
   • Analyze results
   • Examine the results
   • Strengths and weaknesses
   • Parameters and small changes

8. 6.- Reporting the Results

   • Report findings in document
   • Explain the process
   • Take good notes
   • Process summary
   • Relate variables and justify them with the assumptions
