This article presents an overview of the key concepts of Mathematical Modeling in the educational context as part of the research process in the classroom. The aim is to investigate the convergences and divergences between three modeling concepts in a theoretical approach, and identify favoring the education process for its use, considering these convergences and divergences. For this, three publications are presented in a simplified form to show these conceptions. They are: Mathematical Modeling in Education in its essence (BIEMBENGUT, 2014); Mathematical Modeling under a Mathematical Education perspective and its implications for the construction of mathematical knowledge in the classroom (BURAK, 2010); and, Mathematical Modeling: What is it? Why? How? (BARBOSA, 2004). It was identified that the three publications indicate convergence on the most important aspects of working with modeling, thus enabling the integration of this with some aspects of research in the classroom, while pointing out an approximation of the three modeling concepts in Education for favoring the teaching and learning of mathematics and other sciences.

Keywords : Mathematical Modeling; Research Classroom; Mathematics Education.
