Educação matemática para alunos surdos: um estudo realizado na Rede Municipal de Educação de Balsas MA

Abstract

This work discusses the education of the deaf, presenting a trajectory marked by challenges and achievements, from the beginnings of society with exclusionary principles to the present day in the search for inclusion, revealing to us that it is a complex and still little studied topic. In the field of Mathematics Education, there are many challenges to be faced such as language barriers and lack of accessible materials. This work analyzes the process of teaching Mathematics to deaf students in the Municipal Education Network of the city of Balsas - MA, through a qualitative approach and field research for data collection, having as its main foundation the work of Costa (2013 ). together with Borges (2013), Miranda and Miranda (2011), Costa and Silveira (2014) and Nascimento (2019). Based on the results obtained, we realized that deaf education in the municipality faces some challenges such as teachers' lack of knowledge about Libras and the absence of interpreters in classrooms, highlighting the need for investments, from the continued training of teachers to working with deaf students, acquiring trained professionals and materials adapted for working with deaf people
