Students' solutions of a problem - situation, designed based on the Socioepistemologic theoretical and didactic proposal of Trigonometric - Functionality, was analyzed. Evidence was obtained in the students' productions and arguments, and modeling was identified as the reference practice which allowed the mathematization of pendulum motion.
