Este estudo tem como objetivo compreender as imagens da matemática dos estudantes mexicanos do ensino secundário. A imagem da matemática é definida como uma representação mental da matemática e, para a identificar, foram estabelecidos quatro pontos focais: (1) descrições do processo de aprendizagem da matemática, (2) crenças sobre a natureza da matemática, (3) apreciações da matemática e (4) emoções. Foram utilizados desenhos elaborados pelos alunos como instrumento de recolha de dados. A cada aluno, de um conjunto de 138 estudantes, foi solicitado um desenho como resposta à pergunta: O que é a matemática? Os desenhos dos alunos indicam que a matemática é vista como constituída por operações e representações geométricas, e valorizam-na como uma disciplina a aplicar. Além disso, verificou-se que os alunos experimentam emoções de angústia e satisfação decorrentes da matemática. Relativamente ao processo de aprendizagem, o papel do professor é proeminente nos desenhos. Por fim, o artigo conclui com possíveis implicações para o ensino.
