This article is part of a doctoral research that had as its central question: "What are the contributions of the Historical-Cultural Theory to Mathematics Education and what elements enhance it to configure it as a teaching trend in the Brazilian educational context? (Gomes Novaes, 2022). To this end, the objective was to identify and map the research groups registered in the Directory of Research Groups in Brazil (DGP) that have as objects of study the teaching and learning of mathematics based on the Historical-Cultural Theory. The study has a qualitative approach, historical-bibliographic and analytical-descriptive character, and a methodological design of the State of the Art type. The analysis of the 32 research groups, found in the investigation, are consolidated in terms of time of existence, lines of research and variety of themes researched, which is configured as a potentiating element for the existence of a Historical-cultural teaching Trend in the field of Mathematics Education in Brazil.
