The present research studies the profissional knowledge of the teacher who teaches geometry in circulation in Brazil in the late nineteenth century. Specifically, the aim is to characterize this knowledge in the accounts of Luiz Augusto dos Reis, a Brazilian teacher in pedagogical mission in Europe, specifically in Belgium. Thus, it is asked, which professional knowledge for teach geometry in the first years of school can be characterized in the analysis of the travel records of teacher Luiz Reis? To answer the question, it is based on the studies of Hofstetter and Schneuwly (2017) and uses as a research source the trip report produced by the teacher. It can be said that Reis puts into circulation, through his report, what is expected of the teacher for the teaching of geometry in the late nineteenth century, a professional knowledge in line with the proposals of the intuitive method. The analyses indicate a change in the knowledge to teach, another pedagogical-didact order is recommended. The changes in the knowledge to teach articulated with the mobilization of the indicated tools like knowledge for teach, evidenced by the activities of the manual works, of drawing, and of the measures. At stake is a new professional knowledge for the teacher who teaches geometry, a new geometry for teaching.
