Abstract
The present study is a classroom-based research where students develop mathematical modelling tasks that involve manipulating and experimenting with real objects. The research was developed in two 9th grade classes of students aged 14/15 years old. These students never had this kind of modelling activities in their mathematics classes before. Our purpose is to discuss the modelling routes produced by middle school students in an experimental mathematics environment – both from the point of view of realistic mathematics education and of the model-eliciting perspective.
