KUHN, Malcus Cassiano  and  BAYER, Arno. Mathematics in the pedagogical journal Unsere Schule. Educ. Pesqui. [online]. 2018, vol.44, e164384.  Epub Jan 31, 2018. ISSN 1678-4634.  https://doi.org/10.1590/s1678-4634201711164384.

The article analyzes the editions of Unsere Schule, a pedagogical journal, with emphasis on the mathematical discourse through texts, images and statements, their intentions and approaches. As the theme is part of the history of mathematical education in Rio Grande do Sul, this qualitative and documentary study draws on cultural history for the analysis of the eleven editions of the Unsere Schule, edited by the Lutheran Church in German, for its parochial schools, from August 1933 to October 1935. In 1900, the German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, today the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil, began mission in the German colonies in the state, founding religious congregations and parochial schools. These schools were part of a missionary and community project that sought to teach the mother tongue, mathematics, as well as cultural, social and mainly religious values. In its whole of 164 pages, journal Unsere Schule brings contributions to the Lutheran parochial schools in Rio Grande do Sul, through biblical texts, information and pedagogical articles in different areas of knowledge. Journal Unsere Schule presents didactic orientations for the teaching of mathematics using the intuitive method, gives publicity to arithmetic books and publishes pedagogical articles for the practical teaching of geometry and units of measure.

Keywords : History of Education; Mathematics; Pedagogical Periodical; Gaucho Lutheran Parochial Schools.
