This article presents the results of a research that focused on the grading, i.e., organisation in levels of knowledge, of the arithmetic teaching proposed by Faria de Vasconcelos’s handbook “Como se ensina aritmética” (How to Teach Arithmetic). The theme proved to be important in view of the transformations of arithmetic to teach in primary school in times of so-called scientific pedagogy. Such an analysis was made from the perspective of a theoretical-methodological framework that takes into account the professional knowledge of teaching. As a result, there is a reorganisation of the arithmetic in primary education under the impact of experimental psychology with a statistical basis. Such transformations are shown more explicitly in the new grading of school education proposed by Faria de Vasconcelos.
