This paper investigates ten mathematics textbooks distributed between the years of 2013 to 2018 in countryside schools in Brazil within the scope of the Textbook National Program in its version for the Countryside, the PNLD Campo. The analyzes take the Animal Studies as a motto to discuss the subjectivities produced in this context. The Foucaultian theorizations are adopted to examine the discursive networks described and inquired from the use of two qualitative and quantitative analysis software, Atlas TI and Gephi. The articulation of the theorization employed with the software is supported by the analysis of the Connected Concept Analysis. The results show that the animals are positioned in these materials sometimes take them as a pedagogical device, in order to capture students' attention and engagement in their teaching and learning processes in school Mathematics, while at other times they are engaged in a process of exploration of their lives to sustain a rationality that distributes, organizes, and maintains policies of life and death. Keywords: Animals. Countryside. Scholar Mathematics. Network Analysis.
