Abstract

In Brazil, individuals with intellectual disabilities have a higher chance of being illiterate or not attending school between the ages of 7 and 17, which leads them to seek out Youth and Adult Education (EJA) because they did not receive schooling at the appropriate age. The increase in enrollments of this target group in EJA poses a challenge for those involved in the teaching-learning process, especially in Mathematics, which the students with intellectual disabilities themselves identify as the most challenging area due to its abstract nature. Thus, this study conducted an exploratory survey of articles in the field of education published since 2018 that relate to the teaching of mathematics, intellectual disabilities, and youth and adult education, aiming to identify and reflect on strategies for teaching Mathematics to young and adult students with intellectual disabilities. The analyzed articles highlighted the importance of interaction and exchange among students and the teacher's mediation for the learning of students with intellectual disabilities. They also indicated the relevance of the use of both structured and unstructured mediating tools with educational intentionality as a way of support in the process of internalizing mathematical concepts, progressing from the concrete to the abstract.
