Understanding and formalizing the laws of physics has been made possible by the combination of different types of contributions, within which the mathematization of physics has played an important role, allowing the physical present significant progress in terms of new discoveries and formalizing highly predictive theories. This has led to the suggestion that use mathematical forms taken by physics as part of its structure of explanation, justify the teaching of physics based on mathematisation. For this reason, it is necessary to clearly understand the meaning of the mathematization not only in physics but also in the teaching of physics, recognizing its scope and restrictions. We present a study about the relationship of explanation and language in mathematization of physics, verifying their existence in three historical moments of physical and compared with those obtained in the literature about the meaning attributed to mathematisation of physics in teaching. We found that they are different conceptions of mathematization for physical and mathematisation for teaching physics and mentioned some of its implications in education.
