Teaching mathematical modeling to students is a complex psychological and pedagogical process that requires a teacher to have deep comprehensive knowledge of mathematics, psychology, didactics, and methods of teaching mathematics. Rethinking the emphasis in teaching mathematics, forming a system of methods, techniques and tools that is the basis for students' understanding of the content and method of mathematical modeling is one of the key tasks of improving the methodological activity of a modern teacher of mathematics. Mathematical modeling can serve as a modern means of improving the quality of education, and also helps to establish interdisciplinary relationships at various levels. The ability to mathematical modeling creates conditions for development of students' readiness and ability to effectively apply knowledge in real life.
