Abstract
This research explores the representations of gender, ethnicity and family exposed in mathematics education texts from 1st to 4th grade delivered by MINEDUC. Through a content analysis of the contextual problems and images, it is investigated how gender, ethnicity and family are represented. This has allowed us to find some examples given to students of what could be understood by feminine and masculine. In addition, a diminished representation of ethnic groups and different types of families has been found. We conclude by questioning the present representations from an egalitarian perspective and exposing the shortcomings of the Chilean school texts.
