This text intends to pursue the following aims: to state how teenagers see room for dreams in mathematics classes and how to make more room for dreams during these classes. It is qualitative research, whose theoretical framework is based on Ole Skovsmose, Paulo Freire and Emanuel Levinas; and the methodology is inspired by case study and oral history. Data production took place with adolescents from two schools: one located in Colombia and the other in Brazil. The data discussed here are based on two discussion groups. Throughout the text, it is addressed some theoretical concepts and presented some of the data, based on students’ discussions about possible room at mathematics classes for teenagers’ dreams. In the sequence, it is stated some reflections, criticizing mathematics classes based on exercise paradigm, and the relationships stablished during these classes, which do not allow an opening space for students’ dreams.
