Abstract
Behavior analysts have investigated resources/strategies that promote the mathematics' teaching and learning, for example, for teaching problem solving, counting, and the development of technologies for teaching people with atypical development. It is important to invest in the expansion of these studies through the identification, organization and systematization of what has been produced. The aim of this study was to investigate, between 1970 and 2015, Brazilian research based on behavior analysis about mathematical behavior (CM) and the behavior of teaching Mathematics (CEM). Graduate programs sites were consulted and four Brazilian databases: Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations; Virtual Health Library in the Index Psi Thesis; Behavior Analysis Studies Database; Capes Thesis Database. Descriptors used were different depending on the database. Based on reading the abstracts, the works were selected and classified into CM or CEM. The results showed a predominance of research on CM and the need for more contributions about CEM. There was concentration of production in the southeast, which shows that we must expand this boundary. Future research should make bibliographic studies about national and international articles on this subject.
