Using Technology in Modeling

The Power of Computers

Many modern models use technology to handle big calculations, run simulations, or visualize results.

Types of Technology

  • Graphing Calculators: Quick computations and graphs.
  • Spreadsheets: Organize data, build models, and make charts.
  • Programming: Automate and solve complex models.

Simulation

Simulations let you test models thousands of times quickly, changing conditions to see what happens.

Visualization

Graphs and charts make it easier to understand model outputs and share results with others.

Examples

  • Using a computer program to simulate the spread of a wildfire.

  • Building a spreadsheet to predict expenses for a school project.

In a Nutshell

Technology makes complex models possible and brings them to life.
