Results: the articles and reviews included contained a total of 444 participants. Describe the characteristics, type of intervention, activities developed, monitoring, results and conclusions in the different studies. These investigations show that teaching of mathematics with the ABN method presents benefits in the students, allows to improve the calculation and problem solving, among other skills. Conclusions: the scientific literature and the publication of experimental studies in relation to the subject of study is still scarce, however The benefits of the ABN methodology are shown in comparison with the traditional methodology in various practices and some studies.
