Direct application of innovative teaching method based on principles of mathematical modeling is illustrated by example of the teaching unit related to introducing the concept of the first derivative processed by using mathematical modeling as teaching method and GeoGebra as software tool. Step by step procedure of making mathematical model is explained – from starting preparation, to implementation of the mathematical model and drawing conclusions from it.

The positive effects of mathematical modeling and GeoGebra as software tool to better understanding, the creation of advanced mathematical thinking, and the application of mathematical theory on solving real world problems are presented and illustrated.
