The history of mathematics education in America is the story of a long and exciting adventure. It is the subject of a forthcoming NCTM Yearbook, A History of Mathematics Education in the United States and Canada. The following is a capsule account of the direct involvements and the tangential contacts of the National Council with that history during the past fifty years.

The thirty-second yearbook of the NCTM (Jones 1970) deals with the history of mathematics education in the United States and Canada. Scattered throughout the book are references to psychological and educational theories and their impact on mathematics education. The name of Piaget occurs on seven pages, and some of his books are named; but the volume does not spell out the precise ways in which Piaget's work is of value to the mathematics educator. Personally, I have been greatly influenced by his work, details of which have been published in a vast array of books and papers over almost fifty years, although it would be true to say that it is only in the last ten years that there has developed a widespread interest in his work in the United States. I believe that his position regarding the acquisition of certain kinds necesof new knowledge is of more value to the mathematics teacher than any other position at the moment, although I affirm with equal conviction that his theory does not cover a11 the facts and that one day it will be replaced or subsumed by a more allembracing one. Some of the strengths and inadequacies of his theory in relation to mathematics learning have been given by Lovell ([a] 1966) and Beilin (1971). Although it would be wrong for me to outline Piaget's cognitive-development system here, I must make six points that are the assumptions, so to speak, on which the remainder of my paper rests.

The NCTM will publish a professional reference book on the recent history of mathematics education as a companion to its 1970 Yearbook: A History of Mathematics Education in the United States and Canada. The new volume will have two parts. The first part will contain chapters that set the broader historical context for recent developments and reform efforts. The second part will begin with World War II and the “new math” era, concentrating on events in mathematics education of the last quarter century and including reflections by authors who participated in those events. If you are interested in contributing to the volume, submit a two-page proposal to George Stanic, University of Georgia, Department of Elementary Education, 427 Aderhold Hall, Athens, GA 30602; e-mail: [email protected]. Examples of historical research you have conducted may be included with the proposal.

O artigo analisa a obra Rechenbuch für Deutsche Schulen in Brasillien 2º Heft[1], de Matheus Grimm[2], com ênfase na seção XII, que aborda cálculos de economia doméstica e rural. Como o tema se insere na História da Educação Matemática, este estudo qualitativo e documental ampara-se na história cultural. A obra editada pela livraria Selbach, de Porto Alegre, teve sua primeira edição em 1900. O público-alvo eram os alunos do 3º e 4º ano elementar das escolas rurais teuto-brasileiras, unidocentes e mistas. A ideia era orientar os futuros colonos em suas receitas e despesas para administrar corretamente o orçamento familiar e gerenciar a produção na propriedade rural. Essa prática era comum nessas comunidades, pois havia o intuito de preparar as crianças para o futuro, com condições de realizar transações comerciais e dar continuidade aos negócios da família. Tais ações, contemporaneamente, fariam parte da denominada Educação Financeira, como objeto de conhecimento indispensável a ser trabalhado nas escolas brasileiras. As atividades desenvolvidas, a partir de situações-problema, estão relacionadas aos diferentes conteúdos matemáticos, envolvendo a aritmética, desenvolvendo habilidades para o manejo do cálculo escrito e mental por meio da resolução de problemas do cotidiano.   Palavras-chave: História da Educação Matemática. Ensino. Economia Doméstica e Rural.   Abstract The article analyzes the book Calculation for German schools in Brazil 2nd notebook, by Matheus Grimm, with an emphasis on section XII, which addresses household and rural economy calculations. As the theme is inserted in the History of Mathematics Education, this qualitative and documentary study is based on cultural history. The book published by the bookstore Selbach, Porto Alegre, had its first edition in 1900. The target audience were the students of the 3rd and 4th elementary year of the rural schools in Brazil, unidocentes and mixed. The idea was to guide the future settlers in their income and expenses to properly manage the family budget and manage the production in the rural property. This practice was common in these communities, since it was intended to prepare the children for the future, able to carry out commercial transactions and give continuity to the family business. Such actions, at the same time, would be part of the denominated Financial Education, as an object of knowledge indispensable to be worked in Brazilian schools. The activities developed, based on problem situations, are related to different mathematical contents, involving arithmetic, developing skills for the management of written and mental calculation through the resolution of everyday problems.   Keywords: History of Mathematics Education. Teaching. Domestic and Rural Economy.

Consideramos a História da educação matemática (Hem) como um campo científico que possui como elementos constitutivos os grupos de pesquisas, as produções científicas, como teses e dissertações, as disciplinas que contribuem para a autonomia e estabilidade do próprio campo e as comunicações científicas, como os eventos e as revistas. Mobilizamos a sociologia da educação de Pierre Bourdieu como referencial teórico, principalmente na definição do conceito de campo. Dessa forma, o presente artigo tem por objetivo apresentar sócio historicamente a circulação de ideias a partir dos eventos e as revistas científicas do campo da Hem. Apresentamos o International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME), em seguida a revista International Journal on the History of Mathematics Education (IJHME), que circulou entre os anos de 2006 e 2016. A partir da mobilização da comunidade internacional de pesquisadores que investigam a Hem, foi criado o International Conference on the History of Mathematics Education (ICHME), logo em seguida o Congresso Iberoamericano de História da Educação Matemática (CIHEM) e, no Brasil, o Encontro Nacional de Pesquisa em História da Educação Matemática (ENAPHEM). Entre todas as revistas atualmente que contribuem para a circulação de ideias elencamos a Revista UNIÓN, intitulada Historia Social de la Educación Matemática en Iberoamérica e a Revista HISTEMAT, intitulada Revista de História da Educação Matemática. Os espaços que a Hem vem ocupando contribuem para o processo de reconhecimento, legitimação, socialização e circulação de ideias do próprio campo.
