Abstract

The present research has as its scope the teaching of mathematics, and also its inclusion particularly for the deaf student in the public school at the headquarters of the municipality of Arraias-To. It aims to identify what are the challenges and possibilities of the deaf student in the educational field. Thus, at first, aspects related to the history of education for the deaf are studied, emphasizing the characteristics and singularities of this audience and the way in which the process of acquiring knowledge was developed. In the second moment, we carried out a survey of the quantity of deaf students enrolled in the public school system at the school in the city of the city, and we identified only one student enrolled in the state school system, where the research was carried out. Brazilian Sign Language interpreter (Libras). The research was carried out during regular classes in the room of this deaf student and in extra-class moments when the activities were guided by the Libras interpreter, who suggested the objects of knowledge to be taught. The research follows a qualitative approach, as it allows the author in the search and exploration of the work to get closer to the reality to be researched. In view of this, our instruments consisted of research scripts and also a sequence of activities and an interview with the student and the interpreter. These activities were applied in 07 face-to-face meetings and supervised by the interpreter support teacher. The research showed the relevance of understanding the use of the deaf student's mother tongue, in this case Libras, for the development of logical-mathematical reasoning, as well as to promote mathematical literacy.
