The content analysis technique was used in this study in order to evaluate the data collected. As a result of the data analysis, it was found that 67 valid metaphors were developed by the participants. These metaphors were grouped under 14 categories. According to these categories, about 77% of mathematics teacher candidates perceived mathematics as Limitless, Interconnected, Basically needed, Fun, Cumulative, Indispensable figure and as a figure which laid the foundation for other sciences. The remaining 23% perceived mathematics as Hard-to-understand, Guiding, Universal language, Requiring continuity, Yet to be solved, Mind developing and Having single correct answer.en_US
