  This paper tells about the reasons which led us to choose a qualitative methodology -case studies- as a fundamental methodology in our research which purposes were as follows: to enquire whether two 8th grade pupils (in a school and at a determined classroom) made use of mental images or not when they solved mathematical problems, or when they had to find a meaning for the mathematical questions they were asked, and also. To arrange al1 the elements used in getting the information and to give answers about the way that the analysis have been done is the most important aim of this article.
