This article presents an excerpt of a qualitative research of the bibliographic type that has as its study material books, scientific articles, theses and dissertations, developed with the objective of understanding the importance of knowledge about cognitive processes for the foundation of the methodological aspect of mathematics didactics in contemporaneity. In the presented excerpt, an argument is made in favor of the importance of considering cognitive processes in Mathematics Education, in the school environment, justified by neuroscience discoveries. For the construction of the theoretical basis, the studies were directed to issues of cognitive neuroscience, mathematics didactics and the psychology of mathematics education. The results obtained indicate that when mathematics didactics adequately mobilizes different cognitive processes, mathematics teaching becomes more effective in the face of the demands that society imposes every day.
