In the present study, I examine a modelling strategy as employed by a teacher in the context of an algebra lesson. The actions of this teacher suggest that modelling approach will have a greater impact on enriching student learning if we do not lose sight of the need to manage associated cognitive loads that could either aid or hinder the integration of core concepts with processes that are at play. Results here also show that modelling a problem that is set within an authentic context help learners develop a better appreciation of variables and relations that constitute the model. The …

The results of research about cognitive load that is associated with mental processes and the management of such load so that students can be better supported in the construction of connected mathematical information is discussed. Ways in which worked examples can be effective in promoting useful and powerful mathematics schemes are highlighted.
