The examples of the study consist of 39 primary school 4th-class students who are studying in a state school located in Istanbul or Bakırköy district in the 2017-2018 educational year. The research method is used as a method of research. As a data collection tool, when you tell students about math lessons, the first thing you think is that you draw written papers. In the analysis of the data, the images created by the students or the images they draw were detailed. The metaphors created by the students were gathered under 4 main titles as a result of the opinions received from the experts. Under the titles of Emotional Conditions, Life Effects, School and Class Environment, Mathematical Expressions and Concepts, all the metaphors that students form are collected. The research has found that students see mathematics connected to the school environment and only as a tool for the course they learn, but also that mathematics course affects the student’s emotional conditions. In the category of emotional situations, girls students create more negative metaphors, while in the category of life impact, the metaphors that girls create are equal to positive or negative.
