Abstract

Traditionally, the teaching of mathematics has been a challenge for all those who, in one way or another, are committed to teach how to solve problems, particularly when a model that represents the solution of the problem in an abstract way must be generated. The aim of this paper is to present an alternative of mathematical modeling using semantic networks to obtain a graphical visualization of the relationships among the components of the problem to be modeled, to facilitate the reader understanding of how to build the mathematical model.
