Abstract

 

 

This article aims to build a first representation on the teaching of the Crafts as a subject in primary school of São Paulo from its relationship with mathematical knowledge. The study supported by the theoretical and methodological tools of Cultural History has two main purposes, which relate to mathematical knowledge, attributed to the school for these matters: first, the Crafts function is to assist the process of understanding the geometric knowledge, which functions as a "teaching method" to learn mathematical knowledge; in the second, the Craft as an use of mathematical knowledge studied in other subjects for the formation of worker, for a craft to the student. Thereby, a representation of Craft in São Paulo primary school would be the understanding of the relationship of this subject with the mathematical knowledge as a two-way street, where one knowledge helps to know the other and contributes to achieve moral, physical, intellectual, and professional education, in a practical and intuitive way.

Keywords: Crafts. Primary School. Education Purposes.
