In this sub-module you will consider how to:• prepare new tasks from real situations• rewrite/adapt existing text book exercises so that they
become modelling tasks

Your group will be given a situation.
i working individually write your idea of a task on a sheet stating your teaching objective
ii as a group discuss the different ideas
iii make a poster to present your ideas to other groups

Situation 1: Used car for sale!Used car for sale!It is hard to believe but true – this announcement including this picture was published in an Irish newspaper in 2003:
VW Golf, blue, year of construction 1985, driven only 65 km, only used in first and reverse gear.Original brakes. Original fuel and oil Only 1 driver. Owner wishing to sell due to employment lay-off.

Situation 5: Season ticket
In Budapest there is a 30-day student season ticket available. This ticket is valid for 30 days including the day of purchase.
Sylvia always buys this kind of ticket. Last year, she bought the first one on the 5th of January.

Despite intensive brushing after dinner there is still one bacterium on one tooth.
This bacterium grows in a way that the number of bacteria is doubled each hour.
From Germany:
a) How many bacteria will you find after 2,4,6,12 hours?
b) How many bacteria will there be if the person forgets all advice from his dentist and brushes his teeth again after 24 hours?
c) Which function describes the growth of bacteria?

Brushing your teeth
Dentists recommend that you brush your teeth after every meal to get rid of bacteria.
If someone didn‘t brush his teeth for 6, 12, 24, 48 hours, what would be the consequences?
Develop a mathematical model that shows how bacteria breed and how this can lead to problems if you don‘t brush your teeth.
A possible solution.
