VALENTE, Wagner Rodrigues. Arithmetic and interdisciplinarity: echoes of the history of mathematical education. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2019, vol.35, n.75, pp.305-318.  Epub 18-Jul-2019. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.66837.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze articles of the Revista Educação periodical during the decade of 1930 in relation to proposals of the teaching globalization and centers of interest of Ovide Decroly. The analysis takes into account the considerations of the authors of the articles on the teaching of arithmetic through the pedagogical approach of Decroly. It is concluded that the articles show reluctance in the pedagogical modernization, considering the teaching globalization and the centers of interest, regarding the teaching of arithmetic. The doubts mentioned to this modernization can be interpreted, until nowadays, as elements of the school culture of mathematics teaching: respect to the teaching program, in terms of a set of contents to be taught, independently of the pedagogical proposal in vogue; and the conception of learning mathematics as synonymous of solving many exercises on a particular theme to be studied. These are echoes of the history of mathematical education present in the speeches of current teachers.
