This work deals with the teaching of trigonometric functions associated with the Simple Harmonic Motion through the Modellus software. The work is part of a research of a Master's Degree in Teaching of Exact Sciences, of the University Center UNIVATES. The study was made in a public state school of Macapá city, in Amapá, having as participants, thirty-six students in the 3 High year. The purpose of this research is to investigate the implications of using the Modellus Software to teach the concepts of Trigonometric Functions through the Simple Harmonic Movement in a class of the 3 high school year of Basic Education in Macapá - AP. The developed research has a qualitative nature, approaching a case study. For the analysis and data collection, observations, application of a previous questionnaire and development of pedagogical activities were done using the Modellus software. The results of the research indicated that the pedagogical activities developed with the students showed to be potentially relevant, as they presented indications of new concepts of trigonometric functions integrated to the simple harmonic movement, helped in the enrichment, modification and elaboration.
