Given the recent public mania over bungee jumping, stimulating students' interest in a model of that situation should be an easy “leap.” Students should investigate the connections among various mathematical representations and their relationships to applications in the real world, asserts the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989). Mathematical modeling of real-world problems can make such connections more natural for students, the standards document further indicates. Moreover, explorations of periodic real-world phenomena by all students, as well as the modeling of such phenomena by college-intending students, is called for by Standard 9: Trigonometry.

This paper shows a tool for the analysis of written productions that allows for the characterization of the mathematical models that students develop when solving modeling tasks. For this purpose, different conceptualizations of mathematical models in education are discussed, paying special attention to the evidence that characterizes a school model. The discussion leads to the consideration of three components, which constitute the main categories of the proposed tool: the real system to be modeled, its mathematization and the representations used to express both. These categories and the corresponding analysis procedure are explained and illustrated through two working examples, which expose the value of the tool in establishing the foci of analysis when investigating school models, and thus, suggest modeling skills. The connection of this tool with other approaches to educational research on mathematical modeling is also discussed.
