Abstract
The estrangement of science from mathematics in the mathematical curriculum of Japanese senior high schools is a subject of widespread and grave concern. Thus, in order to connect mathematics to the fields of Newton’s science, for example, through mathematical modelling, it is suggested that it will be necessary to provide concrete examples such as “Kepler’s Laws”. This approach succeeded in increasing a class of Year 12 students’ knowledge about the laws with the simulation of planetary movements and the making of a “Mathematical development model” occurring together. Consequently students will realize the necessity of differential equations in order to analyze actual phenomena. This empirical research suggests that mathematics materials involving physical perspectives are effective for senior high school students.
