Math-MAPS A new road that opens up a world. Part I - Dynamic models without derivatives

Math-MAPS is a kind of Google-maps for Mathematical Education, created by Mathematics&Real-Life (M&R), with the aim to offer innovative educational paths to the Schools of any order. M&R (www.matematicaerealta.eu) is a national project which promotes the education to mathematical modelling as innovative direction. Modelling education involves a completely new way to approach Mathematics, based on a dynamic interaction between real world and mathematical world. Math-MAPS suggests the learning highways to connect different topics. In our contribution we illustrate one of these recommended tracks: the introduction to dynamic models. The fist part deals with the discrete case, suitable for High Schools (also of vocational type) and weak math University courses. The second part, which presents the traslation to the continuous case, is devoted to Scientific High Schools and University base courses.
