Check out this awesome FREE High School Math Modeling webpage that is ran by a group of doctoral students at Montclair State University with a passion for mathematical modeling. Their mission is to help others learn how to implement this practice in our everyday classroom. Some are on Desmos Classroom which many of us are familiar with already!
