The integration of mathematical modelling into instruction can promote learners‘ understanding of mathematical content, ideas, and concepts as well as offering an approach to solving real world problems. Resources such as digital tools, media, and simulations hold great potential for the implementation of mathematical modelling in school classrooms. The use of digital resources can be used to support the generation of solutions to real world problem. In this paper, we present a concise synthesis of research regarding the role of digital resources and their potential for promoting learners’ capability with mathematical modelling. We conclude the paper by identifying future directions for research into digital resources enhanced mathematical modelling instruction.
