The present research aimed to investigate how students relate to mathematical knowledge and what influences their approach / interest or removal / disinterest of the contents taught in school, from the point of view of them, and was guided by the question what is the meaning of mathematics for students of II cycle of elementary school? In order to achieve the goal and to solve the starting problem was used as a qualitative research method. The participants were two schools of Baixada Fluminense in the State of Rio de Janeiro. In schools, it fell to the direction the selection of the participating classes in a total of eight classes from the sixth to ninth grade, as well as math teachers. To collect the survey data were created, for the students, two instruments using projective technique. The first was a questionnaire containing six items covering math, math class, teaching strategies, teachers, tasks and evaluation. The second instrument, continued stories, focused on the same items. For teachers, we used another questionnaire also focusing the same items. Participated in the first stage of the research 171 students and 12 mathematics teachers who responded to the questionnaires. Moreover, at the second, 12 students, who have created stories about mathematics. The main theoretical framework used in this research were from Wallon (2008, 2005, 1989, 1986, 1975b, 1975a, 1971, 1969) on the affectivity and Charlot (2011, 2007, 2000, 1996) on meaning in relation to knowledge. The main findings were: the relationship between teacher and students is impregnated by a complex emotional charge, covering aspects that go beyond the didactic and pedagogical relationship. There is a vicious cycle that pierces the curriculum conducted in the classroom, in which a student is committed, the expectation of the teacher tend to the ability he has to learn any mathematical school content, and focus knowledge and practices in their culture. A teacher, on the other hand, assumes a favorable position to significant education when teaching students interested and motivated to learn and have their efforts recognized by the presented learning. The meaning of school mathematics turns into school mathematical sense when it is able to affect the students, to impregnate them to the point that the meaning of the mathematical content to be reconstructed and applied to any other situations
