O ciclo investigativo de modelagem matemática.

This paper is part of an investigation on the problem of knowledge infrastructure necessary for the development of school mathematical modeling on problems in context. For this, the research cycle of mathematical modeling is proposed as a device inspired by the five gestures that characterize a real research in the light of the anthropological theory of the didactic. Results obtained from the empirical analysis of a problem in context show the potential of the mathematical modeling research cycle for the acquisition of new useful knowledge, if not indispensable to teachers in formation, as well as forwards future research.
