This article was developed in order to model the integration of computer systems, GeoGebra and MS-Excel, in the teaching-learning process of Analytical Geometry at the Higher Institute of Educational Sciences in Cabinda, in order to reduce the difficulties that appear as, Lack of mastery of the basic concepts of Analytical Geometry, little motivation of students, limited understanding of the concepts of vectors, equations of lines, their representations and graphical interpretations in the plane and space, conic sections, quadric surfaces, poor preparation in the use of software mathematicians, non-compliance with Analytical Geometry programs, among others. For this purpose, a sample of 3 teachers and 154 students was interviewed, selected at random whose opinions processed with the SPSS software allowed the elaboration of a conceptual model and a methodological strategy to guide teachers in reducing these difficulties. The strategy was validated through its implementation with several practical activities developed in the classroom involving teachers Masters and Doctors in Mathematics who favorably rated it very good.
