Kaasaegses andekuspedagoogikas on fookus nihkunud andekate tuvastamiselt arengut toetava keskkonna loomisele. Artikli eesmärk on anda ülevaade alus- ja alghariduses rakendatud tõenduspõhistest matemaatilise andekuse arengut toetavatest sekkumistest. Meetodina kasutati süstemaatilist kirjandusanalüüsi. EBSCOhost andmebaasidest tehtud otsingu tulemusel valiti analüüsi 20 empiirilistteadusartiklit. Tulemused näitavad, et andekust toetavaid sekkumisi saab rakendada rühma- ja klassipõhiselt, haridusasutuseüleselt ja -väliselt. Vormiliselt jagunesid sekkumised neljaks: õpilaste grupeerimine, õppe diferentseerimine, kiirendamine ja õppekava rikastamine. Sekkumiste sisu väljatöötamisel lähtuti kõikide vormide puhul sarnastest karakteristikutest. Matemaatika valdkonnas läbi viidud sekkumised mõjutasid erinevaid arengulisi aspekte. Annete arengut toetavad sekkumised olid arendavad mitte ainult spetsiifiliselt võimekate, vaid kõikide sekkumises osalenud laste jaoks.
