The text analyzes articles published in the Revista do Ensino of Rio Grande do Sul, which broach the subject Mathematics Campaign, a contribution of the Primary School Department of the Rio de Janeiro General Secretary of Education and Culture. The Campaign exposed propositions to the primary school, including activities that aim the improvement of children's learning. In particular, there are three articles, published in 1961, related to the subject "Mathematics Achievements", which introduce proposals to the first four years of the primary school, in which is possible to identify a direct association between the mathematics and the spatial technology development. The proposals highlight the learning of the mathematics as an indispensable element to the new scientific achievements and put into discussion the concept of daily life that, in the Campaign,assume a larger dimension than the one related to the child daily life, but pretty present in the cultural context of the period.
