The present article is part of the approaches to the history of rural school institutions in Southern Mato Grosso (now Mato Grosso do Sul), in order to analyze and contribute to the understanding of the following problem: How was the teaching of the mathematical division in a rural elementary school in the interior of Mato Grosso do Sul in the late 1980s? Thus, this article seeks to analyze the teaching of the division to children of the second grade of elementary school, of the municipal school Padre Anchieta, Vila Formosa, district of the Dourados municipality, taking as main source of research a "Planning Copybook" of a teacher who worked there in 1989. The study’s borders are justified because the teacher's notebook was planned and written in the year 1989. The research was developed from the perspective of the New Cultural History and based on documental sources. The data showed that the registers presented by the teacher in the copybook were centered in the teaching of the algorithms, which showed the influence of Modern Mathematics from the 1960s to 1970s. This educational movement encouraged the teaching of more logical Mathematics, centered in the teaching of structures, algorithms and mathematical language. In addition, this study showed that the teaching of the division showed signs of a traditional pedagogical conception. It is concluded, therefore, that the division's teaching was influenced by Modern Mathematics and based on a traditional pedagogical conception.
