    En este artículo nos situamos en la perspectiva teórica ‘models and modeling’ para describir el diseño de una secuencia de tareas, conocida como secuencia de desarrollo de modelos, utilizada para investigar la enseñanza y aprendizaje de las matemáticas. Un objetivo central de la investigación desde esta perspectiva es desarrollar principios para el diseño de secuencias de tareas de modelización y para su enseñanza. En este trabajo nos proponemos ampliar nuestras investigaciones anteriores elaborando la forma en la que una secuencia de desarrollo de modelos puede servir para apoyar a los estudiantes al desarrollar modelos que no sean sólo descriptivos, sino también explicativos, especialmente cuando se conectan a los modelos matemáticos existentes. Para ello, elaboramos cuestiones de lenguaje sobre representaciones y contexto, así como estrategias de implementación del profesor.

    In this paper, we draw on a models and modeling perspective to describe the design of a sequence of tasks, known as a model development sequence, that has been used to research the teaching and learning of mathematics. A central research goal of a models and modeling perspective is the development of principles for the design of sequences of modeling tasks and for the teaching of such sequences. We extend our earlier research by elaborating how a model development sequence can be used to support students in developing models that are not only descriptive but also have explanatory power when connected to existing mathematical models. In so doing, we elaborate language issues about representations and context as well as the implementation strategies used by the teacher
