Towards an Interdisciplinary Study of Questions. A Mathematical Approach to the Historical Incident of Barcelona's Siege in 1714

This article describes the design process and the first implementation of an interdisciplinary teaching sequence within a context that links Mathematics with History based on the war of the Spanish Succession in 1714. Its design and experimentation with a group at Secondary school students lead us to show up some conditions that facilitate and restrictions that hinder the development competences on mathematical modelling and inquiry. From these first results, we will then move to its redesign in the case of teacher training programmes.
