The inclusion of students with Intellectual Disabilities in Mathematics teaching presents challenges that demand effective pedagogical practices. The objective of this study is to analyze pedagogical practices in teaching Mathematics to students with ID. The methodology adopted was a Systematic Review, through the Methodi Ordinatio, covering the period from 2018 to 2023. The Web of Science, Scopus, Science Direct and SciELO databases were consulted, using the descriptors "Mathematics", "Intellectual Disability" and "Special Education". The results indicated that inclusive pedagogical practices, such as the use of concrete materials, games and educational software, are effective in teaching and learning these students. However, challenges such as scarcity of resources, need for curricular adaptation, effective legislation and continuous professional development of teachers were highlighted. It is necessary to invest in continuing education, ensure access to adequate resources and promote inclusive educational environments that provide all students with opportunities for meaningful learning in Mathematics.
