This paper aims to problematize the privileged use of Condorcet's Arithmetic Manual, titled Means of learning to count easily and precisely, published in Brazil in the nineteenth century in public instruction journals, while discussing the potentialities of constituted sources by pedagogy-oriented journals of this period, which deal with the school practice of Arithmetic and elementary school teacher education. This problematization is supported by the documentary basis of the doctoral thesis of Farias (2014), which analyzes the uses of magazines and newspapers as mobilizing practices of an arithmetic culture that would have circulated in the Normal School of the Rio de Janeiro province, from 1868 to 1889, with the purpose of preparing Mathematics teachers for the so-called "schools of first letters." Based on the field of History of Mathematical Education in Brazil, this investigation is inspired by the philosophical therapy of Wittgenstein and Derrida’s deconstructionism, especially his postulation of the inexistence of independent knowledge and thought respectively of language or writing games. In this paper, we emphasize the importance of the themes of teacher education and teacher practices since, in the second half of the nineteenth century, these themes were objects of heated debates and discussions. In addition, the emphasis given to the Normal School of the Province of Rio de Janeiro in Niterói is due to the fact that this school was the first Normal School created in Brazil in 1835 for preparing elementary school teachers.
