Modelling: Applying Mathematics to Real World Problems
>
 * **Stages of Modeling **
 * **Problem - Identify what you need to answer or solve, be specific **
 * **Formulate - Come up with ideas about how you could find the answer or solution **
 * **Compute - Use math to test one of your ideas **
 * **Interpret - Check your understanding of the results of your computations **
 * **Validate - Check that the results of your computations answer or solve the problem. **
 * **If your results do not answer or solve the problem, go back to the Formulate stage **
 * **Report - Present your results to an audience **
