Uma Análise Sobre o Ensino da Matemática para Alunos com Transtorno do Espectro Autista (TEA)

Abstract

This work's theme is an analysis of mathematics teaching for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). It is known that the inclusion of autistic students in mathematics in regular education is still a challenge, making it necessary to develop effective teaching methodologies for learning for this target audience. Understanding mathematics as a science necessary for the basic activities of human beings' daily lives, it also becomes indispensable for the autonomy of autistic people. Therefore, this work aims to study how mathematics can become accessible to people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, through teaching methodologies based on respect for the characteristics and potential of autistic students. To this end, a review of the available literature on the topic was carried out (reading in full books, e-books, periodicals, scientific articles, institute portals that are references on the subject); research of manipulative materials on blogs of teachers working in the area; Search for mathematical games on a digital distribution service (Google Play Store). It was found that there is little literature focused on autism and mathematics. Furthermore, this work resulted in the development of a support lesson plan for autistic students level 03. Through the results, it is concluded that teaching mathematical content to autistic people is possible, regardless of the level of support.
