<p>O presente artigo compõe-se acerca da elaboração do <em>Caderno Dirigido</em>, inspirado pela obra Didática da Matemática de Júlio César de Mello e Souza, o Malba Tahan (1895 - 1974). Em tal proposta, de abordagem qualitativa, utiliza-se como recurso metodológico para a prática docente no Ensino Fundamental, o instrumento entrevista, realizada com o educador matemático e ex-aluno de Malba Tahan, Sergio Lorenzato. Após a análise da entrevista, buscou-se estabelecer um diálogo passado-presente entre o discurso de Malba Tahan e as falas do depoente quando foi seu aluno. O tema centrou-se no conhecimento do <em>Caderno Dirigido</em> e tal movimento possibilita a reflexão de que a História da Educação Matemática pode contribuir para criar cenários de investigação para a prática em sala de aula.</p><p><strong>Palavras-chave: </strong>Malba Tahan.

In this proposal, a qualitative approach was used as a methodological resource for teaching practices in elementary education. The interview instrument was carried out with a mathematical educator and former student of Malba Tahan, Sergio Lorenzato. After analyzing the interview data, we sought to establish a past-present dialogue between Malba Tahan's speech and the statements of the deponent when he was his student. The theme focused on the knowledge of the directed notebook and this movement allows the reflection that the history of mathematics education can contribute to create research scenarios for the practice in the classroom.<strong></strong></p><p><strong>Keywords:</strong> Malba Tahan.

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.

Lewis, J. P. Black Cat Bone: the Life of Blues Legend Robert Johnson. Illus. Gary Kelley. Mankato: Creative Editions, 2006. Print.Although this book is designed as a large-format picture book, Black Cat Bone is more likely to appeal to older children (middle school and adolescents) as a poetic text, with its rich illustrations and unusual narrative flow. The foreword of the book addresses a reader who knows some about blues musicians, as well as has some hint of the history of blues music in the United States. The language of the text is not trying to tell a linear story, but to be more evocative of a time, and of some of the historical context. The book actually has several texts: the address of the historical context that bookends the work, the bluesy poems which make up the majority of the text, excerpts from Johnson's own lyrics, and a footer running throughout the book, which provides aphoristic summaries of Johnson's story: “He was destined for legend not a field hand's work.” Each text tells a part of the interpretation of Johnson's story. With the images, it adds up to a faceted narrative of the man and his musical legacy. The illustrations alternate between impressionistic pastels in deep dark colours, reinforcing the air of mystery around Johnson's life as understood by popular culture. Kelley's other illustrative style is reminiscent of Indonesian shadow-puppets, dramatic and exaggerated in their execution. A particularly lovely example is show in full on the cover, a depiction of Johnson and the devil facing each other, each with a hand on the guitar. This image is reproduced in the text, split by the page turn in a clever design turn. Recommended: 3 stars out of 4Reviewer: Allison SivakAllison Sivak is the Assessment Librarian at the University of Alberta Libraries. She is currently pursuing her PhD in Library and Information Studies and Elementary Education, focusing on how the aesthetics of information design influence young people’s trust in the credibility of information content.
