Abstract

The present work aims to report and discuss the experience of teaching mathematical concepts to students with Down syndrome enrolled in the final years of elementary school at a private school in Fortaleza, Ceará. The practices mentioned here are based on ten months of daily monitoring of the student by the authors and, over the course of these months, we seek to understand how the relationship between the teacher who teaches mathematics and the specificities of these students occurs, as well as, to know the practices, interventions, teaching methodologies and strategies that guide the teacher's actions for the student's cognitive development regarding Mathematics. For this, a case study was carried out in addition to a bibliographical survey about what has been discussed regarding the topic. As a theoretical basis, we rely on studies by Bissoto (2005), Lopes & Fabris (2013), Santiago & Santos (2015) among others. It was possible to conclude that consistent planning that involves different educational actors is essential for the good performance and advancement of students with Down Syndrome, with regard to learning Mathematics, in addition to the search for a practice more focused on potential, involvement of everyone in the inclusion process is a decisive factor in success.
