Abstract
This study explored 298 grade four Chinese students’ competency in mathematical modelling and its relationship to mathematics competency. Descriptive analysis, t tests and correlation coefficients were used and reported to describe the mathematical modelling competency and sub-competencies of grade four students and to analyse the relationship between mathematics competency and the sub-competencies. The findings indicate that grade four students’ competency in mathematical modelling was not proficient. However, among the subdimensions of mathematical modelling, students’ competency of working mathematically was the best. In addition, a strong positive correlation between mathematical modelling competency and mathematics competency (p < 0.001) was found in the data collected.
