In this article, we conduced an investigation into how the Conceptual Field of Geometry is inbricated with other Conceptual Fields in the statements of the Mathematics questions of the New ENEM exams. Thus, we operated a documentary research on the statements of all 1.305 Mathematics questions of the New ENEM, from the year 2009 to 2021, using the methodological steps of Content Analysis and ? as theoretical foundations of the analysis ? the Theory of Conceptual Fields and the Theory of Imbrications between Conceptual Fields. Through this study, we realized that the number of concepts and conceptual inbrications in the statements of the New ENEM questions can be directly associated with the level of complexity of the situations proposed in the exams, which could confirmed from a future investigation that includes the resolutions of the issues analyzed here.
