Abstract

The focus of this study is the teaching of mathematics in prison education in Macapá, in particular in an educational institution within the Penitentiary Complex. The main objective of this research was to analyze the teaching of mathematics in this specific context, including analysis of the pedagogical strategies adopted, evaluation of the learning process and identification of the challenges faced by teachers. This research was descriptive, with a case study design and a qualitative approach, which highlights the importance of education in prison for the resocialization of People Deprived of Liberty (PPL). The results highlight the importance of teaching mathematics in the process of social reintegration and adapted educational methods. It is concluded that it is essential to implement measures to improve mathematics teaching in the prison environment, including investments in continuing training for teachers, the provision of adequate teaching resources and the establishment of partnerships between other educational institutions. These actions are essential to ensure that math teaching contributes positively to transforming the lives of PPLs and to building a fairer and more inclusive society.
