Defining modeling as a practice articulating two entities has the aim of intervening on one of them from the other. The diversity of both entities intervening in the articulation, as well their nature, make possible to identify modeling as a recurrent practice in different communities. Modeling practice allows building bridges between what is done in school and in communities outside schools. In this practice, the model doesn´t exist independent of the human activity. It manifests as model while intervening in the other entity, at this moment it is called the modeled entity. Despite the interaction with the entity to be modeled is necessary, its adequacy comes about with the intervention on it, through carrying out activity with the model. It is through this intervention that the modeling act is established. Articulating different models with the phenomenon, gives rise to a modeling network that strengthen the human activity for the intervention.
