The changes that occurred in the educational system and in the school culture began to affect school practices in the 1920s through reform proposals and legislation prescribed in various parts of Brazil, since the Ministry of Education had not been created yet. This paper analyzes what are "mathematical pieces of knowledge in the early years", understood as the first steps, the initial basis of mathematical knowledge organized to be taught to students attending elementary school, proposed by Irene de Albuquerque in a manual titled Methodology of Mathematics (1951). We sought grounds that would allow us to answer the following question: In the discourse about the initial education, present in this manual by Irene Albuquerque, are mathematical knowledge treated as essential or as rudimentary? The research uses this manual as a source because of its scope and uses, especially in teacher education courses in that time and in ISERJ (Instituto Superior de Educação do Rio de Janeiro). As a theoretical-methodological reference, the work is historical, constructing the object of research from elements coming from cultural history. The results show that the mathematical knowledge proposed by Albuquerque is rudimentary, that is, it is knowledge connected with practical life, indicating changes of essential mathematical knowledge, in consonance with the pedagogical propose of Nova Escola.
