In this work, we describe some effective teaching and research practices that can help to integrate mathematics and biology efficiently to enhance student learning at all levels. One of the successful approaches proposed is to employ mathematical modeling that can help transform pedagogical practices. In this regard, we introduce some modeling activities that have been shared with teachers through professional development programs and have been incorporated in the classrooms. We also present how engaging teachers in research experiences in mathematical modeling can help to transform their pedagogical practices and provide opportunities for students to consider pursuing areas at the interface of mathematics and biology.

通过数学生物学建模与教师联系

在这项工作中，我们描述了一些有效的教学和研究实践，可以帮助有效地整合数学和生物学，以提高学生在各个层次的学习。所提出的成功方法之一是采用数学建模来帮助转变教学实践。在这方面，我们介绍了一些通过专业发展计划与教师分享并已纳入课堂的建模活动。我们还介绍了让教师参与数学建模的研究经验如何有助于改变他们的教学实践，并为学生提供机会考虑追求数学和生物学的交叉领域。
