Sumario:This paper study a performance score in mathematics for government examination (Pruebas Saber 11) for school students in order to get access to undergraduate or technological third education level in Bogotá (Colombia). Teaching and learning processes in Mathematics realize learning of mathematics objects and its representations, but also learning process of a set of operations and relations among these objects, that also modified or create a set of semiotics registers. For Pruebas Saber 11 we analyzed the student`s performance competencies on: Argumentative, Communicative and Problem Resolution task. We estimate a multilevel model in two stages or levels. The first one takes in account individual and social capital factors, while the second includes school characteristics. An important result is that we find refers the impact of language performance in math performance. In the same way, individual performance in mathematics is positive correlated with the student has access to computer at home. Finally, we find a current result where young men have better results than young women at individual level, but as a group, women have better results than men.
