Abstract

The article discusses issues involving the school, the students, the arithmetic and the notebooks of Municipal Elementary School Professor Henrique Heise, located in Jaraguá do Sul/SC, in the period from 1950 to 1968. In questioning, the questions that reveal the Hornburg brothers’ class notebooks students of the school, on the arithmetic of the elementary school. As objectives, it is proposed to examine these notebooks, to understand arithmetic in school, as well as discuss the class notebooks and arithmetic actions present in the context of the school. The study is justified, considering that the analysis of the schedules of the Hornburg class allows you to understand the mathematics and the relationships that were established in the everyday life of the school and surrounding the arithmetic in the elementary knowledge proposed for students of that community. The research is based on assumptions of cultural history and bibliographic and documentary character. As a result, we can mention that in lines of notebooks were class indicated the marks of curricula the teaching-learning conceptions developed at the school, the school culture and pedagogical practices involving mathematics.
