SUMMARY:

This research brought a discussion about the potential of pedagogical material adapted for blind children in the mathematics literacy phase. The work developed with students with SEN, highlighting the visual impairment, cannot be exempted from the use of adapted teaching materials as a strong ally in the understanding of the contents taught in the classroom, especially when we talk about the teaching of Mathematics. Therefore, the research sought to answer the following concern: What are the potentialities of the adapted pedagogical material used by blind children in Mathematics literacy? Seeking to answer this question, we broadly delimit, analyze the potential of adapted pedagogical material in the Mathematical literacy of blind children attended in a Visually Impaired resource room and, in a more restricted way, characterize the historical paths of Special Education and visual impairment in the Brazil and in the world; identify didactic resources as theoretical-methodological tools of the teaching-learning process, mapping the tactile and auditory skills necessary for Mathematical literacy in the Braille System and characterize Inclusive Mathematics Education and Mathematics Literacy from the perspective of visual impairment. The research context was inserted in the visually impaired resource room, located in an Administrative Region of the Federal District (DF). The research subjects were two blind students assisted by the Resource Room as well as the teacher who assists these students in complementary care. The Dissertation was structured in the Multipaper format and brought, by its characteristic, three articles with different research methods, they were: documentary and bibliographic research, the Case Study, and the participatory research. Each article had its own characteristic, with objectives, research methods, results, discussions, and conclusions, independently of the other articles. We start from the theoretical discussions about Special Education and Visual Impairment, advancing to the importance that adapted teaching materials have for blind children; we approach the construction, use and objectives of these adapted teaching materials, involving tactile and auditory skills, literacy in the mother tongue and Mathematics literacy in the Braille System. We conclude by analyzing the materials adapted to work specifically with the first mathematical concepts. The results indicated that there was an advance in the legislation that guarantees the attendance to students with Specific Educational Needs, including students with visual impairments; that the use of adapted pedagogical materials arouses the interest and motivation of the blind child during classes and that the formation of concepts is directly linked to the use of adapted pedagogical materials during Mathematics classes, making it possible to abstract concepts. The research contributed to the process of Mathematical literacy of blind children, developing and experimenting with significant materials that favored the appropriation of mathematical concepts in the first grades of schooling.
