In this paper we present results from a master's degree research with the aim of highlighting how the semiotic resources used or indicated in the development of a modelling activity enhance the perception of mathematics by students in a 5th year elementary school class. We understand mathematical modelling as a pedagogical alternative in which, from an initial situation, a solution to a problem is reached, via a plurality of signs. Considering a qualitative and interpretative approach, we analyzed a set of data obtained through audio recordings, videos and written records of students in the 5th year of Elementary School at a private school located in the interior of the state of Paraná. Based on the TV theme suggested by a student in the class, we showed that the students mobilized the semiotic resources they had available, as well as those provided by the teacher, so that the perception of mathematics was configured in the interaction with the problem situation, in the collection of data, in the analysis of proportionality, in resuming the situation more than once, in the manipulation of signs that referred to the mathematical object and to express and clarify doubts. These developments enhanced the perception of mathematical objects such as proportionality and inches.
