Ensino e aprendizagem de matemática para alunos autistas

Abstract

In this work we seek to understand how research has been approaching the teaching and learning of mathematics for autistic students. To achieve this objective, the methodology of bibliographic research related to academic productions was used. Being established for the work, the specific objectives: to understand how the teaching of Mathematics is designated for autistic students in basic education, and to analyze the existence of proper materials for the teaching of Mathematics to these students. The articles were selected from the Annals of the National Meeting of Mathematics Education (ENEM), published between 2016 and 2019, as well as scientific works found in Revista Bolema. In both, the focus is on the idea of teaching mathematics to autistic students. From the reading and analysis of the 6 selected works, topics were elaborated presenting the abstracts, followed by the discussion of the characterization of each one of them, presenting objective, mathematical content approached, the use of digital technologies and the existence of some auxiliary material, be it manipulable or ludic. That said, it was possible to conclude that the teaching proposals for autistic students, addressed in the development, are based on individual aspects of each student, year of education and level of intellectual difficulty, realizing that the teaching of mathematics has been adapting to the needs of these students. The fact that the proposals are adapted according to each need highlights that no material specific to this public is presented and used.
