ABSTRACT: We present some metaphorical meanings of Anáhuac people specially regarding to numbers and basic operations, which underline the importance of the nature, the family, the culture, the human harmony. This indigenous knowledge could complement classes of Mathematics and makes sense more powerful. Our experiences with students and teachers of Latin America show us that it is possible and empowers people.
