Abstract

The article discusses the pedagogical and methodological aspects related to the teaching of the multiplication and of the division in two editions of the Second Arithmetic of the Concordia series, edited by the Lutheran Church for their parochial schools in Rio Grande do Sul, during the first half of the twentieth century. In 1900, the Missouri Synod, today Evangelical Lutheran Church of Brazil, began his mission in the gaucho German colonies, founding religious congregations and parochial schools. These schools sought to teach the mother tongue, the mathematics, cultural, social and religious values. Basing on the cultural history and on the content analysis, it was found that although the Second Arithmetic of Otto Goerl submit a proposal of study of the multiplication and division operations by 2 to 10 more contextualized with socio-cultural practices, the two arithmetical bring activities for the development of skills of mental calculation and of written calculation, focusing on the algorithms and calculation procedures of multiplication and division operations.
