A MODEL FOR THE PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL MODELING COMPETENCY: A GROUNDED THEORY ANALYSIS Tian Wang1, Da Zhou2, Zhiyong Xie3, and Jian Liu1 1Beijing Normal University, 2Northeast Normal University, 3Gannan Normal University  Four important strands shaped the debate on mathematical modelling competency (Kaiser & Brand, 2015). The German modelling group proposed the concept of modelling competency based on different sub-competencies and found some different models of modelling competency, such as the five sub-competencies model. The Australian modelling group emphasized that modelling competency should include metacognition. Previous studies paid inadequate attention to primary school students, so this study constructed a model of the primary school students' mathematical modelling competency through grounded theory.  METHOD This study carried out case studies and selected 6 fifth-grade students and 6 sixth-grade students from China as the objects of study. Thinking aloud was used to collect students' thinking process of solving mathematical modelling tasks which were translated and adapted from published modelling education studies and books.  RESULTS This study obtained 370 codes and finally formed 7 categories and 2 main categories. Based on the coding results, a mathematical modelling competency model for primary school students was established:  Competency Sub-Competency Modelling Process Competency Understanding Information; Making Models;  Working Mathematically; Interpreting and Validating Metacognitive Modelling Competencies Orienting and Planning; Monitoring and Regulating;  Evaluating and Improving Table 1: The Model for the Primary Students’ Mathematical Modelling Competency References Kaiser, G., & Brand, S.
