Abstract

Professional teaching knowledge interferes with the planning and development of classes, which also relates to integrating digital technologies in the classroom. This study aimed to understand and discuss teachers’ professional knowledge for teaching mathematics with digital technologies. The methodology of this systematic literature review was composed of selecting 42 scientific articles in the ERIC, Latindex, Scopus, Scielo, and Web of Science databases and vertical and horizontal analyses of the indicated studies. The results suggest that the studies have similar structures with similar theoretical frameworks, objectives, and methodological procedures, identifying and classifying teacher professional knowledge based on knowledge achieved or that still needs to be developed. The teachers mobilize their knowledge by recognizing the potential of digital technologies for teaching mathematics critically and reflectively.

Keywords
