Abstract

This paper deals with the teaching and learning of mathematical modeling of hepatitis B virus (HBV) transmission. We first present the teaching of infectious diseases and more precisely the disease of hepatitis B in the Moroccan curriculum. In addition, we develop various activities in order to build the three forms of an HBV epidemic model that are visual, continuous and discrete. These activities can develop in students many abilities and skills such as mathematical reasoning, complex problem solving, modelling and communication. Furthermore, the construction of this HBV epidemic model will be done through the ordinary differential equations (ODEs) which are programmed in the teaching of mathematics in high Moroccan school.
