Abstract: The revised Australian curriculum presents a new emphasis in primary schools on the process of Mathematical Modelling. A modelling focus brings close attention to confidence and capability with a potentially new problem-solving process, associated language, and pedagogical processes. This paper presents a Year 4 classroom modelling experience that arose as students planned their end-of-year party through Guided Mathematical Inquiry. Classroom video data captured two students working on vertical whiteboards as they formulated and solved a problem involving carrot sticks and dip. Findings reflect the students as doers of mathematics, engaged in productive struggle.
