• This study aims at supporting learners’ competency of mathematical modelling in ordinary mathematics lessons by using increasing learning aids in a self-regulated learning environment. The study intends to evaluate the feasibility of the approach by carrying out a case study. Thirty seventh-graders were video- and audio-recorded while working on complex modelling problems supported by increasing learning aids and a diagram of the modelling cycle enhanced to indicate potential areas of difficulty or blockages to progress as a metacognitive aid. First results point out that the usage of increasing learning aids for solving mathematical modelling problems supports modelling activities. In this chapter, an overview on the modelling tasks is presented, with one task presented in detail. General results and results for one specific group will be reported.
