The Bryn Mawr School is an independent school for girls in Baltimore, Maryland. We have a coordinate relationship with the Gilman School (boys), and our advanced mathematics classes are often coed.
As part of a senior semester elective on "Advanced Topics in College Mathematics", mathematical modelling has been taught in some years. Here is a sequence of resources that have been used for mathematical modelling. Many of the resources came from an MAA PREP class at the University of Nebraska (summer 2015), led by Dan Teague and Maria Hernandez from the North Carolina School of Mathematics and Science. The author here is indebted to them for their class and resources so generously shared. Other materials cme from a couple of other participants in that PREP class. Still others were generated after starting to teach a modelling unit for about a month each February.
