The present study aims to favor the processes of learning and implementation of mathematical modeling notion pre-service and in-service teachers’ training. In order to achieve so, we describe a proposal which main goal is teachers experiment and solve a situation based on mathematical modeling process by taking a student’s role. We first discuss the theoretical aspects that support the proposal and present the two phases that make up the study. The results exhibit a design of a situation that takes place in a biological context whose tasks are properly inscribed in the phases of mathematical modeling process. In our example of situation, a technological tool is incorporated with the purpose of assisting the transit between the set out of the problem and the production of mathematical models.
