Abstract: The educational support of students with high mathematical abilities (HMA) represents a significant challenge in school contexts characterized by classroom heterogeneity and rigid curricular structures. This study aims to analyze the perceptions of mathematics teachers and special education teachers regarding pedagogical practices with HMA students in lower and upper secondary education. A qualitative research approach was adopted, using semi-structured interviews as the main data collection instrument. Qualitative content analysis revealed that teachers recognize advanced cognitive characteristics in these students, such as rapid reasoning and deep conceptual understanding, as well as socio-emotional difficulties. Teaching strategies are mostly reactive and unsystematic, focusing on additional tasks and peer tutoring. Structural constraints, limited formal training, and the absence of differentiated assessment practices were also identified. The findings highlight the need to strengthen teacher education and promote systematic didactic intervention models that integrate mathematical enrichment.
