OLIVEIRA, Maria Cristina Araújo de. References to teach New Mathematics in elementary school: Cuisenaire’s material and the systematization of knowledge. Educação. Porto Alegre [online]. 2019, vol.42, n.2, pp.257-263.  Epub 21-Jan-2020. ISSN 1981-2582.  https://doi.org/10.15448/1981-2582.2019.2.33816.

The article presents a study about the knowledge to teach mathematics in elementary school systematized in pedagogical manuals that circulated in different states of Brazil between the 1960s and 1970s. The main focus is in the teaching of numbers and operations by the Cuisenaire’s method. During this period, innovative proposals related to the New Mathematics Movement were disseminated. It is oriented around the questioning about the systematization of knowledge to teach mathematics in this perspective, which was presented as a reference for elementary school teachers, materialized in pedagogical manuals. This systematized knowledge concerning mathematics to teach, an amalgam of content and methods, a creation aimed at elementary school, constitute elements of professionality for elementary school teachers. Thus, professionality is marked by the exercise of pedagogical and didactic theorizing, which leads to a formalization of the practice itself.
