1.	Petersson, Jöran, Docent (author) Mathematical modelling in social sciences 2022 In: The relation between mathematics education research and teachers’ professional development. - : Svensk förening för MatematikDidaktisk Forskning - SMDF. - 9789198402452 ; , s. 141-141 Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract This presentation outlines the mathematising of population pyramids in secondary education. The population pyramids are presented as reduced schemas, making them more accessible for use in both mathematics and social science classrooms. The outcome is that such schemes show useful for describing relations between the shape of a population pyramid and aspects of macroeconomic status of country; both when comparing countries with different shapes of the population pyramids at the same time period and when comparing one country over historical periods with different shapes of its population pyramids. Hence, this model opens for several societal applications, which in turn form bases for students’ discussion and interpretations of both simulation models and the principle of mathematical reductionism.
