Abstract

This text aims to present a book review of Ramon Roca Dordal’s Arithmetic School (teacher's book). This work is a landmark of intuitive arithmetic teaching in times of implementation of school groups in Brazil. It is an emblematic text intended for primary school teachers to use in conjunction with the collection of arithmetic books which were used by the students. Based on Darnton (2010), Choppin, Chervel and Chartier’s assertions, this text takes up the textbook as a privileged source research and it reveals some aspects of the book circuit: from the prescriptive requirements with its adoption in public schools as well as some methodological aspects about numeracy. The results show the ingenious articulation made by the author who along with a teaching students group from São Paulo built the foundation for the spread of a set of actions that were aimed at the establishment of a modern teaching, supported by a wave of intuitive method in primary education.

Keywords: Textbook. Elementary School. Arithmetic.
