ABSTRACT:

This article analyzes studies that articulate Mathematics Education and Teaching for students with cerebral palsy (CP). It aims to identify the main results of researches carried out from 2000 to 2018 and, by a meta-analysis, answer the question: in the publications in the area of education and mathematics teaching aimed at students with cerebral palsy, how is the participation of students, what are the objectives and methodological procedures used, and what are the characteristics of the results achieved? A Discursive Textual Analysis of the publications selected in digital databases shows eight emerging final categories: learning; professional qualification; changes of conceptions; relevance of the theme; technology in teaching; Mathematics and contextualization; individualized proposal; specialized service. This analysis shows that national publications focus on teacher training, while European or American productions are concerned with assessing the student’s cognitive ability, pointing to the need to integrate the two focuses, teacher and student.
