This article discusses some possibilities of using Children's Literature for the teaching-learning of Mathematics, which aims to analyze how the story of Snow White can be used for teaching Symmetry. Based on a bibliographic study, the relevance of the theme was highlighted. According to the assumption that literature is one of the tools that can provide students with reading and understanding of the world, we present some activities that allow exploring the potential of Children's Literature. We seek to use excerpts and illustrations from this story to teach Symmetry in the early years of elementary education. As the main conclusion of this study, we have that it is possible to develop Geometry activities to teach the subject in question in the context of that world-famous fairy tale. We aim to present a different way of teaching Mathematics, by seeking a meaningful learning and making teachers interested in this teaching strategy.
