Abstract

Mathematics learning is essential for children with special needs (CSN). The process of learning mathematics at the
CSN can be started from concrete to abstract. During the math learning process, many gestures are produced by CSN. Gestures
can direct the individual to take and understand the implied meaning of any movement or facial expression. The problem
formulated in this study is how the CSN gesture in learning mathematics and aims to describe the gesture produced by CSN
during the mathematics study. The subject in this study was the CSN with an autistic category. Research is conducted by
observing the mathematical learning process. This research uses a qualitative approach. Data is collected with an observation
technique using an audio-visual camera and is subsequently analyzed qualitatively. The results showed that the fundamental
characteristics of CSN in math learning could be seen from the gesture. Each gesture contains verbal meaning and can represent
how they think they are in understanding mathematical problems. Another characteristic is indicated by repeated actions
(gesture pointing repeatedly). This condition indicates the special attention and confidence of CSN toward the object being
observed
