Abstract
The aim is to show how the extended mathematical working space (extended MWS) theoretical framework can be used to analyse the tasks implemented during a few stages of a modelling cycle in a chemical problem. This chapter studies a teaching sequence, including an experimental session in chemistry and graph construction for students in the last year of secondary school (grade 12) in France. The extended MWS theoretical framework makes it possible to study the multidisciplinary aspect of the different tasks that students must perform when working on problem solving.
